President Donald Trump has suggested that he and Democratic rival Joe Biden should both be drug tested before they take the stage to debate in Ohio next month, comparing the debate to a boxing match.
"Well, it is a prizefight," Trump reportedly told The Washington Examiner in a one-on-one interview at the White House this week. "It's no different from the gladiators, except we have to use our brain and our mouth. And our body to stand. I want all standing; they want to sit down."
Biden's campaign didn't immediately respond to Newsweek's request for comment. The Examiner piece didn't include a response from the Biden team.
The first 90-minute debate between the two candidates is set to take place September 29 at Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic's joint health campus. Two other debates between Biden and Trump are also scheduled before the November 3 election—one in Miami, Florida on October 15 and another in Nashville, Tennessee on October 22.
