Harris Challenges Trump Over Debate Commitment, Accuses Him of Backpedaling

[Social Media]

 

In a recent turn of events in the political arena, Vice President Kamala Harris has accused former President Donald Trump of retracting his commitment to a September 10th presidential debate. Harris addressed reporters with a clear message: "I'm ready." Her comments came after she returned to Washington following a speech to the American Federation of Teachers in Houston. "I'm ready to debate Donald Trump. I have agreed to the previously agreed upon Sept. 10 debate. He agreed to that previously. Now it appears he's backpedaling. But I'm ready. And I think the voters deserve to see the split-screen that exists in this race on a debate stage. And so I'm ready. Let's go," she asserted.

 

This accusation follows an earlier agreement between Trump and then-President Biden to participate in two presidential debates, the first of which took place on June 27th, hosted by CNN. The second debate was scheduled for September 10th and was to be hosted by ABC News. However, Biden's underwhelming performance in the first debate led to widespread calls for him to withdraw from his reelection campaign, a decision he announced on Sunday. Biden's exit from the race paved the way for Harris to announce her candidacy, and she has since garnered the support of a majority of delegates necessary to secure the Democratic nomination.

 

Trump had previously indicated his willingness to debate Harris, expressing his openness to facing her "more than once." Nonetheless, he has now suggested a change in the debate's hosting network, advocating for Fox News instead of ABC News. Trump took to his social media platform to label ABC as "fake news" and a "joke," casting doubt on the network's credibility. Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung underscored this position in a statement on Thursday evening, noting, "general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee."

 

Harris’s readiness to confront Trump on the debate stage highlights her determination to engage in direct political discourse and underscores the significance of these debates in the eyes of the electorate. Her insistence on maintaining the original debate schedule reflects a broader commitment to transparency and accountability in the democratic process. Meanwhile, Trump's insistence on changing the debate host has sparked a contentious debate about media credibility and the platforms that should be entrusted with such pivotal events.

 

As the political landscape continues to evolve, the potential showdown between Harris and Trump on September 10th remains a focal point of public interest. The outcome of these debates could significantly influence the direction of the upcoming election, providing voters with a clear comparison between the candidates. Harris’s bold stance and Trump’s contentious counter-moves set the stage for a highly anticipated and potentially transformative moment in American politics.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been given the rather unfortunate nickname of ‘Donald Duck’

Trump camp under pressure.

He is petrified of her. She has really gotten under his skin, already. Without even trying. He does not do well against smart and accomplished women. He hates that type of woman. She would cream him in a debate. Hope it will happen and hope he musters up the courage for it. Right now, he appears to be a real coward. Which is not surprising.

He has always been a coward. And to stand in a TV debate would extend his intellectual abilities. Harris' brain is as sharp as a razor. And Donny is pretty much afraid. Ready to bin him👍

Historically he avoids disrespecting powerful woman and his santuary is silence with those like Michelle  Obama.

I am surprised at how many Americans still support Donald Trump. Today however I met a Texan from the republic of

Texas, and yes he was a Repub, L, I Can, so even though he likes the republican party, he says

he is not impressed with Trump.

Watch Harris speak and then turn to a ralley and that should be enough.

[sirineou]

He committed to a debate  at a particular time and date with the democratic nominee.

So what has changed?

He stands to lose alot of his women supporters, if he goes off on her and becomes highly disrespectful, which he seems unable to resist. It is just who he is.

Alot of my conservative friends admit what a subpar human being he is, yet they support some of his positions. Some have said they will vote for him, but they will hold their noses in disgust.

My next door neighbor and good friend in New York is a Republican legislator in Orange county.In private both her and her husband have said to me that they are "embarrassed" by trump. But publicly...

What a bunch of nonsense, and back peddling. 

"Minutes later, Trump noted, "I haven’t agreed to anything. I agreed to a debate with Joe Biden." "

So that answers the question what has changes . 🐔

"The Trump campaign said Thursday he will not participate in a debate until Democrats finalize their nominee  " or after he provides his tax returns 

Harris would wipe the floor with trump

No, I think Trump would win but agree with the rest of your post except the last sentence. Trump would be frustrating as usual for those that seek an honest debate but it seems his growing base doesn't  care much and easily shrugs it off as "normal" Trump. 

[sirineou]

Oh come on, let's get real. 

Take your maga hat off and tell me you dont think Harris would wipe the floor with trump in a debate,

[Walker88]

Come on, folks. Have some sympathy for old man blithering blubberbutt. It's probably those nagging bone spurs again.

 

Let's not forget his time as a fighter pilot and astronaut, as least in the NFTs he schlepped to his goobers. I mean, a guy who would pretend he was any of those things must be tougher than those 'suckers and losers' in Normandy graves.

Trump is neither effeminate or flamboyant when under pressure.  He's always a real man's man, not a nancyboy, pansy or sissy.

[Chomper Higgot]

Many people are saying: Donald Trump is scared  to debate Kamala Harris.

 

 

[Walker88]

The felon fears her. No doubt about that.

 

With HRC, he knew how she would respond to his fake toughness or lies: she would fight but look mean, and a mean woman might scare off some voters, who still judge women differently.

 

Harris would just laugh, especially with that laugh the cult is trying to make an issue, when it's really a positive.

 

Harris would laugh at his attempts to be a tough guy, maybe reminding him of his bone spurs and cowardice.

 

Harris would laugh at his lies.

 

A woman, especially a minority woman, laughing at a guy who pretends he's an Alpha male, would shrink his junk even smaller than Stormy's "Not freakishly small, but well below average". Harris would neuter the blubberbutt. He would look the lying little baby for all the world to see.

 

His team knows that, so are unlikely to let him take the stage, even if he wanted...which he does not.

 

Strong and capable women like Harris are his kryptonite. There's a reason he always goes after women, whether AG James or Nikki Haley or Fani Willis or Nancy Pelosi or Kamala Harris: he knows he's a fraud and he knows THEY know he's just a weak little boy.

Many of my friends who plan to vote for him refer to him as a degenerate, a liar and a thief. They know who he is. But, they like some of his positions. They say it is not about the man, it is about the issues.

But do they realise that the issues will never be implemented, because don does only what is good for don.
