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.
Wait, hold up, why is Vance doing two?
I think they are getting riled by the “Trump/Vance are cowards” argument and this is there pathetic attempt to counter it: “Nuh uh, we actually wanted more debates!”
These people are such weird losers.
No, that’s not what they said. They said Trump’s publicist told Daily Caller he’d be doing two.
Based on history, there is no way to predict reality from that statement.
When they referenced the VP doing a second debate, they were referring to Harris.
Not quite an answer, but:
If they’re going to ultimately back out of the debates, it makes sense to bluster first about wanting even more debates and then claim that Harris and Walz refused their debate schedule.
He’s trying to pull a power move by not just simply accepting the invitation to the one debate. They feel like they need to one-up the offer by offering ANOTHER debate, on their terms this time!! It’s childish
