Last week, Donald Trump announced that he agreed to have three debates with Kamala Harris, with the first on Fox News on September 4, the second on ABC on September 10, and the final one on NBC on September 25.
“The debate about debates is over. Donald Trump’s campaign accepted our proposal for three debates – two presidential and a vice presidential debate,” Michael Tyler, Communications Director for Harris-Walz 2024, said in a statement. “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. Voters deserve to see the candidates for the highest office in the land share their competing visions for our future. The more they play games, the more insecure and unserious Trump and Vance reveal themselves to be to the American people. Those games end now.”
The hilarious thing about that response is the implication that Trump might not show up to the September 10 debate. I’m old enough to remember when the Biden-Harris campaign played the same game with faux bravado on the debates and suggested that Trump might not show up and was too afraid to debate Joe Biden.
