Fox News’ Sean Hannity said Wednesday that President Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential debate rules are “extraordinarily favorable” for 2024 presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Biden proposed he and Trump face off in two televised debates, one in June and one in September, the New York Times (NYT) reported. Trump accepted Biden’s terms, including that there will be no live audience and that microphones will cut out as soon as a candidate’s speaking time runs out. Hannity told “Fox and Friends” co-hosts that the president’s debate requirements were “great news” for Trump.

“This made my day. This made my morning,” Hannity said. “This is great news if you’re, if you’re Donald J. Trump today for a lot of reasons. And if I was President Trump, I’d say, ‘Why not make it, uh, June, July, August, September. Let’s have four, Joe. Really make my day. You wanna have a debate? Let’s have debates.'”


“I think this is phenomenal news for a couple of reasons,” he continued. “One, I think that Donald Trump will wipe the floor with him, and I don’t care if we get these State Of The Union jacked up Joe with caffeine, Red Bull, or whatever. Uh, or we get regular Joe that could barely walk off the stage last night. I think it’s a great opportunity.”

“Also, he proposed a format that I think is extraordinarily favorable for the president, which is, if you’re not talking, your mic’s not on. I think one of the difficulties in 2020 is probably Donald Trump in that first debate was too aggressive. This will then kind of put, you know, rails in place so that one person talked at a time. And the more Joe talks, I think the worse he does.” (RELATED: Biden Triples Down On Major Trump Policy After Criticizing It During 2020 Campaign)

The Trump campaign has been calling on Biden to debate the former president several times, especially after Biden told Sirius XM’s Howard Stern that he would be “happy to debate” Trump “somewhere.” Trump repeatedly challenged Biden to debate him “anywhere, anytime, any place” before Biden finally proposed his terms.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
