Presidential Debates 2024

[Suppressed Poet]

I totally nailed it. After promising "anywhere, anytime, any place," Trump now says that he will only debate if it is in an arena, on September 4 and on FoxNews. If Harris does not agree, he says there will be no debate. He is withdrawing his prior acceptance of the debate currently scheduled for September 10 on ABC.

This is a strategic error on Trump's part. Expectations have been set so high for Harris' debating skills that there is no way she could live up to them. And Trump would perform better than he seems to think he would. Although the Harris campaign is taking advantage of Trump's apparent cowardice, they must be secretly relieved.

Soon, Trump will begin to blame his campaign staff for these sorts of errors.

I think Trump should honor his prior arrangement of a September debate hosted by ABC if Joe Biden is the one to debate him…

If I were Kamala Harris I would not accept Trump’s debate challenge. She hasn’t done a single interview or unscripted televised event since receiving the noble coronation of presumptive nominee. There is a very good reason for that. She should at least wait until she is the real-deal official nominee. That way the Democrat elites can’t cast her aside like a leper after Trump mops the floor with her on the debate stage.
