The Trump campaign claimed Thursday that Joe Biden’s “handlers” could try to get out of the general election debates with President Trump after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested the Democratic nominee should back out of all three of them. PELOSI SAYS BIDEN SHOULDN'T DEBATE TRUMPMurtaugh claimed Biden had “vehemently opposed” holding even one debate before some Americans begin to vote. Debates have been an issue of contention for weeks as the Trump campaign has pushed for an additional early debate to coincide with early voting that will be underway in states. "Now, I know that the Biden campaign thinks in a different way about this." BIDEN: TRUMP ROOTING FOR 'MORE VIOLENCE, NOT LESS'Pelosi made the comment at her weekly news conference, unprompted, and her advice was not in response to a question about debates.
