During the interview, Stern told the Democratic incumbent president that it was a 'fantasy' of his to see Biden square off against Trump. Biden replied that a debate would indeed happen at some point during the remainder of the campaign.
Stern responded by offering Biden advice on how to handle such a debate, telling the president that he should simply repeat Trump's election lies and belabor the fact that he tried to overturn the 2020 election, citing how Trump pressured officials in Georgia to 'find' him 11,000 votes as an example. 'That's the end of the debate,' Stern explained.
Biden responded to Stern by discussing Trump's inaction during the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol building, when a mob of Trump loyalists stormed Congress seeking to disrupt the certification of Biden's win over Trump.
Trump responded to Biden's comments almost immediately, writing on Truth Social on Friday that he doesn't believe the president 'really mean[s]' it, but that he's ready to debate.
