Is Donald Trump really trying to get out of debating Kamala Harris again? Or is it the opposite?
On Thursday, it seemed like the dust had finally settled. “The debate about debates is over,” said Michael Tyler, the Harris campaign communications director, in a statement. “Donald Trump’s campaign accepted our proposal for three debates—two presidential and a vice presidential debate.”
“Assuming Donald Trump actually shows up on September 10 to debate Vice President Harris, then Governor Walz will see JD Vance on October 1 and the American people will have another opportunity to see the vice president and Donald Trump on the debate stage in October,” the Harris campaign continued.
But now, Trump’s team claims that the Democrat lied when she said the two sides reached a debate agreement. At the moment, there is only one confirmed debate between the presidential nominees, to be held September 10 by ABC News.
Nevertheless, the Trump campaign’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Caller Friday that Trump will be doing three debates and Vance will be doing two.
Why does Harris even bother? Just do the one debate in September and be done with it, since the venue and format was already agreed on. Anything else, Trump is going to move to FOX and have it rigged. And it will just be Trump soundbites (more so that it already is.)
I really hope he doesn’t show up on Sep 10. Then Harris can have all the tv time for herself. And then she can refuse to do any other debates, simply stating Trump is unreliable and doesn’t show up therefore she won’t waste time scheduling any more.
