RFK Jr. says he'll debate Biden, Trump moments after president laughs him off
President Biden responded with smiles Wednesday, after being asked about debating former President Donald Trump a third time, and possibly even Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Shortly after the president laughed off the possibility of debating RFK Jr., the latter posted on X that he'd be debating both Trump and Biden.
"I’m happy to report that I will meet the criteria to participate in the [CNN] debate before the June 20 deadline," RFK Jr. wrote. "I look forward to holding Presidents Biden and Trump accountable for their records in Atlanta on June 27 to give Americans the debate they deserve."

Biden met with reporters at the Joint Chiefs Combatant Commander’s Meeting on Wednesday, where he provided a few statements before the meeting.
After finishing, reporters quickly shouted as many questions as they could before being moved out of the room.
One of those reporters was Fox News Channel White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who asked Biden, "Did you see Trump said he’ll do a third debate?"

The president is seen on video smiling and looking down after hearing Doocy’s question.
"Would you? Why not debate a third time? Why Not?" Doocy asked.
Another reporter asked Biden if he was looking forward to the debates, and he answered, "I am. Come on."

Doocy then asked Biden a question, which the reporter captured using his iPhone.
"You don’t want to debate RFK Jr.," Doocy asked, which Biden acknowledged with a smile. "That’s a no?"
