<p>Former President Donald Trump said Monday he wants a debate with President Joe Biden months ahead of the end of the primary season and the start of the general election.</p>
<p>Trump challenged Biden on Monday during an appearance on The Dan Bongino Show. After winning contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, Trump is still facing a challenge from his former U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley, in the GOP primary. But he has his sights set on Biden.</p>
<p>“He can’t do it, because he can’t talk. He can’t do anything. He’s ruining our country. And I don’t think he’s going to run — I don’t know if it’s donors or otherwise. It might be his family, it might be something,” said Trump, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/05/news/trump-wants-to-debate-biden-while-ignoring-nikki-haleys-challenge-in-2024-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>. “I’d like to debate him now because we should debate for the good of the country.”</p>
<p>Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/02/05/remarks-by-president-biden-in-press-gaggle-las-vegas-nv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> to Trump while speaking with reporters in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>“If I were him, I’d want to debate me, too. He’s got nothing else to do,” said Biden. The president did not say whether he would accept the invitation to debate.</p>
<p>Trump refused to take part in a series of GOP primary debates, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-republican-primary-debate-9b6c7e74c7ce908cd082df3bb192535f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting</a> on Truth Social in August that “the public knows who I am &amp; what a successful Presidency I had.”</p>
<p>“I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!” he wrote. During an interview with Fox News in June, he asked host Bret Baier: “Why would I allow people at 1 or 2% and 0% to be hitting me with questions all night?”</p>
<p>In a hypothetical Trump v. Biden matchup in the general election, the former president has been outpolling the current president across several polls. The Real Clear Politics polling average <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shows</a> Trump leading Biden by more than two points, 46.7 to 44.6.</p>

<p>The most recent poll in the average, a survey by NBC News, shows Biden polling at the lowest approval rating over his term as the president faces stiff opposition from voters. Just 37% of voters approve of the job Biden is doing as president versus 60% who disapprove, according to the <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24402843/240037-nbc-january-2024-poll_2424-release.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a>.</p>
<p>The poll showed that voters trust Trump over Biden to handle a variety of issues. Respondents to the poll said Trump is stronger than Biden on border security 57% to 22%, handling the economy 55% to 33%, dealing with crime 50% to 29%, and improving the United States’ standing in the world 47% to 36%.</p>
<p>Biden led Trump slightly on the issue of protecting democracy, 43% to 41%. The president also held an edge over Trump on abortion (44%-32%) and protecting the rights of immigrants (48%-31%).</p>
