"Instead of lobbing poisonous bombs from the safety of his bunker, let’s hear President Trump defend his record to me mano-a-mano by respectful, congenial debate," Kennedy concluded.
Trump's 2020 campaign notably called out Biden's "bunker" strategy, condemning how the Democrat largely stayed away from the campaign trail and ducked the public eye while running for president.
Kennedy's challenge came after Trump blasted the independent presidential candidate on TRUTH Social.
"RFK Jr. is a Democrat ‘Plant,’ a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the History of the United States, get Re-Elected," Trump wrote in a series of posts earlier Saturday. "A Vote for Junior’ would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him."

Trump said that while living in New York at the same time as Kennedy, he watched the former Democrat convince former Gov. Andrew Cuomo "to make environmental moves that were outright NASTY," noting that upstate New York "was not allowed to drill or frack as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and others ripped off New York Energy," causing energy costs in upstate New York and New England to skyrocket.

"His Views on Vaccines are FAKE, as is everything else about his Candidacy. Let the Democrats have RFK Jr. They deserve him!" Trump said.
