Anyone know did Kamala agree to this yet?

He’s doing his usual nonsense. Harris has said she’ll consider more after he shows up for the first debate.

He already showed up for the first debate.

He posted lies about the fox debate. That one is trump debating himself. It has nothing to do with Harris

Trump showed up to the Biden debate that you said he wouldn’t show up to- the result was Biden being exposed, the DNC being exposed, etc.

I guess dem strategy is to say Trump isn’t going to show up? Meanwhile Trump has proposed three debates that Kamala won’t commit to doing.

Donald can propose whatever he wants. Doesn’t mean Harris has to agree to it. Same as if she declared a debate unilaterally and expected him to show up for it. Harris has said she’ll consider other debates after he shows up for the first one.

She’s scared to debate.

We’ll see. 😁

We’ve already seen. Harris has refused to show up at a debate Trump proposed and won’t comment on or commit to the other debates Trump has proposed. What’s stopping her? She’s so fearless and tough but ducking even addressing debates?

Why would she show up? Ignore the bully. That is the best way to deal with trump.

A fearless and tough former prosecutor who has stated repeatedly she is well equipped to deal with her opponent would do more than talk about it. She’d actually walk the talk.

She is but why bother giving that weirdo a platform to tell more of his lies.

Because the American people deserve to hear directly from presidential candidates in the historically accepted debate format. It’s not about what the candidates want, it’s their obligation to the American voter in the election process.

Historically accepted? Obligation to voters? Trump blew up electoral norms years ago. He will look like a moron if he talks about historically accepted formats and obligations to voters.

Trump showed up to the previously scheduled Biden debate and has proposed more debates with Harris. She is the candidate who has decided to not engage with her opponent and schedule more debates in front of American voters. She will not allow her campaign to schedule any further debates. She hasn’t given any interviews either. That’s got nothing to do with Trump.

He seems to have unilaterally arranged a debate on Fox and tries to act as if she is obligated to show up. She is not an idiot and is not interested in his bull crap and neither are her supporters.

Have trump debate the empty chair on fox if you think that will be great for him.

Trump has proposed more than the Fox debate.


Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump proposed three presidential debates on three different television networks in September, among them an ABC News debate he had previously dropped out of after President Biden exited the race.

Speaking with reporters from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Thursday, Trump said his campaign has agreed to three debates, to be hosted by Fox News, ABC News and NBC News. The Sept. 10 debate to be hosted by ABC News is the only one in which the Harris campaign has also agreed to participate. Harris confirmed in a post on X she'd see him in September at the ABC debate.

Harris won’t talk about any further debates until after the first debate. Why can’t her team work with Trump’s team to schedule more debates?

The thing is, Trump's Fox News debate occurs before the ABC debate. There's no reason for her agree to that one - after the debate happens, what's to stop Trump from pulling out of the ABC debate? He's already agreed to it, pulled out, then agreed to it again. What's one more flip-flop from Trump? She's doing the right thing here.

If Trump pulls out of the debate that’s a win for Harris. She would be able to claim victory that Trump was scared to debate her.

Right now Trump can claim that victory. Harris is too scared to debate him.

No, he can't. Just because he unilaterally "agreed" to a Fox News debate does not make her scared. He, on the other hand, *did* agree to the ABC debate then pulled out. If Republicans really wanted a Fox News debate (which they had in 2020) maybe they should have stuck with the commission.

He didn’t unilaterally agree to debate on Fox News.

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday said he has agreed to three debates against Vice President Kamala Harris, including one hosted by ABC News that he previously cast doubt upon.

The three debates will occur Sept. 4 on Fox News, Sept. 10 on ABC and Sept. 25 on NBC, according to Trump’s team.

“So we have those three dates and those networks, they’re very anxiously awaiting that date and those dates,” Trump told reporters during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago. “We have spoken to the heads of the network and it’s all been confirmed.”

Trump and three news organizations have proposed the debates, pending input from Harris and her campaign. Her campaign can negotiate and propose rules and procedures, as every previous candidate’s campaign has done in every presidential election.

As the youtube clip shows, Kamala is refusing to engage about, negotiate rules for, or propose her own debate venues. She says clearly that nothing will be considered or proposed until after the September debate that Biden’s campaign arranged.

Apparently tough prosecutors who have experience and tenacity to deal with felons simply ignore them. Sign me up. I can do that, too.

Like the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has historically always scheduled these? The RNC refused to cooperate with them years ago.

Today, Kamala is refusing to cooperate with Trump.

Her campaign is going very very well. Whatever they are doing is what they should be doing.

What point are you making? That Kamala won’t do well debating Trump so she should continue to avoid doing so?

Clearly not - she's going to debate him on ABC.

A debate the Biden campaign arranged.

Why won’t Harris-Walz do the work of arranging further debates for Harris and Trump? Even responding to the proposed debates is a bridge to far?

>> Trump said<<

Well, there’s your problem right there. He also said he was in a helicopter crash with the mayor of San Francisco. Trump simply isn’t a reliable vector of information.

Is this the Trump campaign’s debate strategy? Make up dates on their own and then whine that the other party didn’t “agree”?

Obviously that is it. Why would Harris participate in that? It just makes her look easily manipulated.

If Harris unilaterally arranged a a debate and then scolded trump for not participating, he would tell her to get lost.

She is a fierce interviewer herself as a former prosecutor but she looks defensive and babbles/stumbles a lot when on the receiving end of even the friendliest of interviews. Likely why she hasn't agreed to any interviews yet.

A former DA has no fear about debating a convicted felon. Harris will do fine. Trump is a low energy, low IQ mouth breather, who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter and lies about crowd size. He is a washed up has been.

Go look up her interview with Lester Holt. He is a teddy bear and his questions and follow ups flustered her. Awkward and bumbling.

Trump has worked with the networks to set up and facilitate the process to get debates tenable to both campaigns scheduled.

Is it the Harris debate strategy to talk a big game and be tough on tv but refuse to get in the ring but a single debate arranged by her boss?

It really makes her look weak as water and makes Hillary truly look like a strong candidate and a strong woman. Harris is letting women down and it’s a damn shame she’s dependent on the “brat” vote. This is not the droid women are looking for. *waves fingers through air subtly*

So she’s refusing to participate and claiming she’s being manipulated?

How will her campaign ever arrange another debate if she won’t propose any and won’t work with the Trump campaign or the networks?

Or is the September debate it? One and done?

Or when a reporter asked about Ukrainian refugees and her response was "a friend in need is a friend indeed"... As if the President of Poland was going to help her answer a question about America taking in refugees. Just cringe. She can't take questions.

Neither campaign unilaterally arranges a debate. They propose venues, dates, negotiating rules acceptable to each side.

If Harris proposed a debate, I would expect the Trump campaign to work with her campaign to schedule something they both could agree to participate in.

How would I know? What I do know as an average suburban mom voter is that it appears that trump set up a debate in Fox on his own and then seems to think he can just bully her into to agreeing to show up. That is how it looks to me and I would not be impressed if she fell for that.

There probably won’t be more debates. Understood.

Ok, how do you think debates are arranged? What do you think happens? At a minimum, both sides need to be willing to talk. Harris doesn’t even want to discuss further debates until after September 11th. Even if you don’t like Trump, you have to agree he is trying to engage his opponent.

Nobody at this level is being trapped into a debate that is set up without their campaign negotiating and agreeing to rules. Are you stating that Kamala and her campaign are unable to do as every campaign before this election was able to do? Why is her campaign singularly at a disadvantage and unable to participate in arranging debates? You think she isn’t politically astute enough to set up a debate and her team is likewise deficient?
