Biden plans to head to Camp David to prepare for June 27 debate with Trump
After back-to-back trips to Europe, President Joe Biden plans to head to the presidential retreat at Camp David next week to prepare for his first 2024 debate with Republican Donald Trump
WASHINGTON (AP) — After back-to-back trips to Europe, President Joe Biden plans to head to Camp David next week to prepare for his first 2024 debate with former President Donald Trump, hunkering down at the woodsy Maryland hideaway that has hosted many similar cram sessions in the past.
Biden spent most of last week in France marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day. He goes to Italy on Wednesday for a summit of the Group of Seven industrialized nations and then straight to Los Angeles for a weekend fundraiser featuring Hollywood superstars George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
All that travel has left Biden little time to devote to preparation for the June 27 debate. A second faceoff is set for Sept. 10.
A person with knowledge of the president's plans, who insisted on anonymity to more freely discuss them, suggested Biden could spend the better part of a week at Camp David getting ready for the first debate.
