Trump Campaign Blasts ‘Biden Debate Commission’ For Not Including ‘Foreign Policy’ As Debate Topic As Hunter Biden Scandal Widens

Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien sent a scathing letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates on Tuesday for not including “foreign policy” as a debate topic, a move that comes as Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden faces renewed scrutiny over his actions as vice president related to his son’s foreign business dealings.

“We write with great concern over the announced topics for what was always billed as the ‘Foreign Policy Debate’ in the series of events agreed to by both the Trump campaign and Biden campaign many months ago. The topics announced by moderator Kristen Welker (Fighting COVID-19, American Families, Race in America, Climate Change, National Security, and Leadership) are serious and worthy of discussion, but only a few of them even touch on foreign policy,” Stepien wrote. “Indeed, almost all of them were discussed at length during the first debate won by President Trump over moderator Chris Wallace and candidate Joe Biden. As is the long-standing custom, and as had been promised by the Commission on Presidential Debates, we had expected that foreign policy would be the central focus of the October 22 debate. We urge you to recalibrate the topics and return to subjects which had already been confirmed.”
