U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday that he would participate in a debate with Donald Trump, his Republican opponent in November's election. "I am, somewhere. I don't know when," the Democratic president said in an interview with broadcaster Howard Stern.

After a full court press from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and its allies, he and Joe Biden may be one step closer to meeting on the debate stage ahead of voters deciding who will hold the Oval Office next year.

The president’s announcement came after months in which he and his campaign declined to say whether he would debate his predecessor.
