“The country deserves to have the two party nominees who want to be president, leader of the free world out there as much as possible, addressing issues, answering all of your questions, and showing a great contrast,” Conway said.
She continued, “I’m very happy to see the president’s campaign manager Bill Stepien this morning on TV say that they would like to have more debates. I think that’s healthy for democracy, particularly when it’s an unusual year in so many ways.”
