Biden starts selling ‘Free on Wednesday’ shirts in jab at Trump
President Joe Biden’s campaign is taking an aggressive shot at former President Donald Trump as it has started selling “Free on Wednesday” shirts in reference to the only day Trump doesn’t have hearings in his current criminal trial.
Trump is currently facing 34 criminal counts of falsifying documents in his ongoing hush money trial, where he is accused of paying off adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump has maintained he is innocent, but much of his time over the last month has been spent in a New York City courtroom.
Currently, the former president is required to be in person for his trial on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in New York.
On Wednesday, Trump and Biden agreed to a June 27 presidential debate after Biden publicly called out his 2020 rival, saying the two should take the stage in June and September, which is not usually the norm for presidential debates.
The remark “Free on Wednesday” comes from Biden’s challenge video that he posted to social media, calling Trump out.
“Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. I’ll even do it twice,” Biden said in the video released Wednesday. “So let’s pick the dates, Donald – I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”
The shirts have since gone up for sale on Biden’s campaign website, priced at $32 apiece.
“Trump’s acting like he wants to debate the president. We hear he’s free on Wednesdays. Let’s do it!” a description of the T-shirt reads.
As for the debate, Trump accepted Biden’s challenge and CNN’s offer to host the event.
“I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September,” Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social.
According to a news release from CNN, the debate will be held in the network’s Atlanta studios with no audience present.
Moderators for the debate and additional details are expected to come at a later time, the network shared.
