A dozen major news agencies, including Fox News and CNN, released a statement on Sunday urging the presumptive presidential nominees – President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump – to publicly commit to participating in pre-election debates.
"With the contours of the 2024 general election now coming into clear focus, we – the undersigned national news organizations – urge the presumptive presidential nominees to publicly commit to participating in general election debates before November’s election," the news agencies said.
Both Biden and Trump secured enough delegates last month to earn their party's nomination, but neither will be officially confirmed until their party's national convention.
