Yeah, Brandon has to have a debate network where their employees will intercede on his behalf and hawk The Big Guy's merchandise.
Earlier today the @JoeBiden account posted a 15-second video with more editing cuts than a fight scene in a Liam Neeson movie in which the president challenged Donald Trump to a pair of debates.
As we told you earlier today, Biden's acceptance, of course, comes with many conditions, including "no audience," among other things.
One of the "other things" is that only Biden-friendly outlets and anchors can host and moderate the debates.
One of the outlets that will host a Biden/Trump debate is CNN, and it will be in June. There are many reasons CNN made the Biden campaign's list of acceptable outlets, and some of those reasons have dollar signs in them.
Biden's video mocked Trump for having limited days of availability because of court matters (they don't mind saying the quiet parts out loud), and CNN's senior political reporter not only mentioned the Biden campaign already has merch on the market but helpfully provided a link:
Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) ~ ... and the Biden campaign leans into the debate and trial Trump trolling, with a new “Free on Wednesdays” T-shirt for sale in its online shop:

jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) ~ {Replying to @IsaacDovere} So, you openly work for the Biden campaign. You're even selling merch.
The Biden campaign might owe CNN a sales commission.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ CNN reporters are now promoting Biden campaign merchandise. Seems like an issue.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ Oh nothing. Just a CNN reporter linking to and promoting a campaign's merch shop.
Will anybody at CNN also provide any links to Trump's campaign website? Yeah, probably not.
What are the odds that the Biden campaign will have received all the debate questions by the end of the day?
