That’s all this states.

I know that is tough to grasp, but only one party here hasn’t selected a nominee for president yet.

I could understand not wanting to do the actual *debate* until Democrats have an official nominee. That would make sense because, theoretically, they could change their nominee again if things went bad. [I mean, that would be suicidal, but I guess it’s theoretically possible.] But that’s not what’s happening here. The debate currently on the schedule is set for September, well *after* Democrats will have locked in their candidate. Democrats have no chance of changing candidates after the next scheduled debate, so what’s the problem with just keeping it as is? Wouldn’t it be better for Trump if he just said, “No problem. I’ll debate whoever the Democrats put up on stage. Doesn’t matter to me.” Instead he’s kind of flailing here, which makes him look weak and flaky.

He’s already done the dems a huge favor by having the earliest presidential debate in mordern history and allowing them to reset the race and dump their INCUMBENT President.

I probably wouldn’t put out that provocative of a statement but there’s no way, if I were him, I’d agree to ANOTHER debate before my opponent is locked-in.

Not getting bait-and-switched twice. Why waste resources on debating someone you’re not sure will end up being the nominee. They ditched their own incumbent president for goodness sakes.

Agreed! His statement highlights the disarray behind the Biden/ Harris catastrophe. The media is fickle and acting like it never happened.

Quite the spin.

lol Biden couldn’t even debate in front of an audience or the free press. And the moderator needed to use a protective buzzer. Those were Biden’s special rules.

Trump is a loser. He knows he can’t debate Harris. He’s a fool!

That’s one of the wackier press releases they’ve ever done and that’s saying something.

It's astonishing that this is the work of a supposed professional for one of the two major political parties in the country that's supposed to be a world leader.

This is the logical endpoint of the pursuit of liberal tears.

Putting out an incoherent press release to own the libs.

I’m, Biden’s not running for president.

Record setting fundraising from small numbers and a reversal of polling leads—yeah, she's here to stay.

P here. every poll I've seen as well as the electoral counter still has Trump ahead or the numbers being statistically tied.

The numbers are the starting point - whatever Trump has is his ceiling and Harris is at her minimum. She only goes up from here and Trump goes down.

+1
Harris has already made up a lot of Biden’s deficits with key groups.

Are you not able to read?
It has been posted numbers times on this thread:
The debate he is backing out of, is AFTER DEMOCRATS HAVE LOCKED IN THEIR NOMINEE.
So what if it isn’t Kamala? Whoever takes the stage, in the debate we are discussing , will be the nominee.

Because it takes time and resources to prepare. Why waste a week or two of time and resources preparing to debate someone who might not end up being the nominee. But still being locked in to the debate date with someone new.

Especially when you already debated and figuratively destroyed the incumbent President you’d assume you’d be going up against?

I would like to see the same rules with his next debate. He was much more reserved than he was in the 2016 and 2020 debates. And he’s quick on his feet, no way scripted Harris will be able to keep up. She’ll spend the majority of each question repeating her pronouns and describing what she is wearing 🤣

So you’re saying that Donald needs to start preparing now for a September 10th debate? The guy who has said publicly that he doesn’t prepare for debates?

Nah. She's going to call him out on each of his lies in real time, and he's going to unravel getting checked liked that by a woman.

He got lucky that on the first 10 minutes, the script was written. As the debate went on, Biden got much better and Trump got much worse. And the media focused on Biden and totally ignored Trump's hundreds of lies.

Nothing to see here.

You keep telling yourself that.

Why would anyone think that anyone other than Harris is going to be at the top of the ticket? Newsome already endorsed Harris, for example. So has every other democrat of consequence, including Obama.

Keep in mind what this really is. Nobody is paying attention to Trump right now. He's fighting to get noticed again.

+1. There is no reason at all for trump to be talking about this right now unless he is laying the ground work to back out of the debate.

It was gaslighting. He was desperately trying to convince Dems that they aren’t sure about Harris and all he got in response was mockery and Obama endorsing her.

That is really grasping at straws. Literally every democrats of consequence has endorsed Harris. She has raised a quarter billion dollars and her team has already hosted calls with hundreds of thousands of small donors and volunteers. There is a less than zero chance that Harris is getting replaced.
