Trump Campaign Says Kamala Harris Is “Misleading” Public Around Debate Conversation
Former President Donald Trump revealed on Monday night that Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has officially declined to debate him next month with Fox News.
“Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th,” Trump posted on social media. “I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border, our ‘Border Czar,’ where millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists, have been allowed to pour into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted.”
“It’s called, and she LOVES IT, an OPEN BORDER!!!” he continued. “Rather than the debate on September 4th, I have agreed to do a Tele-Town Hall, anchored by Sean Hannity, for Fox. It will take place in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – Details to follow!”
Harris and her vice-presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, last week refused to sign off on multiple debate proposals offered by Trump and Senator JD Vance (R-OH).
Despite declining the Fox News debate, the Harris campaign has declared: “The debate about debates is over. 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.”
But the Trump campaign contended that a statement from Harris was misleading since there was “no proposal from a network for an October debate.”
The Trump campaign replied to the Harris campaign saying, “President Trump challenged Kamala to three debates. She only accepted two. J.D. Vance challenged Freakish Timothy Walz to two debates. He only accepted one. Just so everyone is aware which campaign in this race is ‘too afraid’ to debate.”
