On Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden held a press conference during which he said he was committed to holding three debates with President Trump and made clear that he supports the removal of statues and monuments dedicated to figures from American history.

“Look, I am committed to following the debate, the National Debate Group that sets up these debates, who they pick as the moderators, three of them,” said the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. “It’s been this way for a long time. The first one is a one-on-one debate with a moderator. The next one is led by a town meeting set and a third one is a normal debate again. I commit to those. I’m looking forward to them.”
