After staying off the debate stage this election season, former President Donald Trump is ready to go up against Democratic foe President Joe Biden.

Trump made his intentions clear Tuesday while on “Ingraham Angle” when took part in a Fox News town hall held in Greenville, South Carolina.

“I’ll do it right now on your show. I’ll challenge him right now,” Trump said when host point blank asked about a possible debate with Biden, according to Fox News.

Trump wasn’t picky about a moderator either.

“I’ll take anybody,” he said. “I think you have an obligation in this case, you really have an obligation to debate. As many as necessary. I could do it starting now.”

But Trump was not confident Biden would join him on the debate stage.

“I don’t think he’s going to debate. I really don’t think so,” Trump told Ingraham.

But Biden seemed open to it, saying earlier, “Well, if I were him, I’d want to debate me, too.”

So far, Trump has not participated in any of the five Republican debates, saying, “when you debate, you want to be smart. You don’t have to waste your time.” 

There is another candidate in the presidential race that has virtually stayed under the radar.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., running as an independent, has not been challenged to a debate, Troy Alexander noted on X, formerly Twitter.

“Maybe because he doesn’t see him as a threat,” one person said.

Trump is in South Carolina ahead of Saturday’s GOP presidential primary, when he goes against Nikki Haley on her home turf.

Haley, former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina governor, trails Trump as the sole remaining GOP candidate.

Haley remains steadfast in remaining in the race.

“Some of you – perhaps a few of you in the media – came here today to see if I’m dropping out of the race. Well, I’m not. Far from it,” she said. “I refuse to quit. South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere.”

Trump, who has yet to pick a running mate, said Haley will not be it.
