Donald Trump revealed the format for his upcoming debate with Joe Biden set to air on CNN in June.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump disclosed that Biden’s campaign team asked to have a seated debate.

He continued, expressing his preference for standing, saying, “I said, ‘No, let’s stand.’ But they want to sit at a table. So we’ll be sitting at a table as opposed to doing it the way you should be, in my opinion, in a debate.”
