Debate

It is not surprising that Biden does not want to debate Kennedy because the incumbent president does not normally debate in a primary. What is surprising is that 72% of democrats want a debate. Their support for Biden is based on the belief that he can beat Trump but down deep they really want another candidate and they are looking for a way to dump Biden without being disloyal to the party. If Biden did poorly enough in a debate with Kennedy it could open the door to another choice. It's not going to happen as their will be no debate regardless of what democrats want. The main question is will there be a debate during the presidential contest. The Commission on Presidential debates will not release a schedule until November.
