In a move that has left political commentators buzzing, Donald Trump has once again put Kamala Harris in a tight spot. The former president, never one to shy away from a challenge, has made it clear that he’s ready for the debate stage—even if Kamala is unwilling to join him.
Trump’s campaign recently confirmed that he and Harris will face off in a highly anticipated debate on September 10, hosted by ABC News.
But the former president is ready to make mincemeat of the Democrat candidate. Trump isn’t content with just one debate. He’s thrown down the gauntlet for two additional showdowns on September 4 and September 25, hosted by Fox News and NBC News, respectively. Harris doesn’t seem willing to take Trump on this challenge. So, he has planned to take the stage one way or another.
From The Epoch Times:
A pair of proposed presidential debates could instead become town hall meetings for former President Donald Trump, his campaign confirmed with The Epoch Times on Aug. 11…He is now waiting for Harris to accept two additional proposed debates—Sept. 4 on Fox News and Sept. 25 on NBC News.
If she rejects those proposals, which Trump made during an Aug. 9 news conference, Trump will appear solo on those national TV networks, a Trump campaign adviser said.
Trump Will Speak to the Nation
But there’s a catch—Kamala Harris hasn’t confirmed her participation in these extra debates. And Trump’s response? Classic Trump. If Harris decides to skip these debates, Trump plans to take the stage solo. That’s right—he’s prepared to turn these debates into town hall meetings, where he’ll have the entire spotlight.
Trump’s message to Harris was crystal clear when he posted on Truth Social, “I look forward to seeing Kamala at all three Debates!” He even went on to release details about the proposed debates, with the first one set to air live from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Fox News. The second, already confirmed, will take place at Philadelphia’s historic Independence Hall, moderated by David Muir of ABC News. The third, still awaiting Harris’s approval, is slated for Grand Rapids, Michigan, with Lester Holt as the moderator.
Harris Is Not Up to the Challenge
These debates, whether Harris shows up or not, are shaping up to be the most talked-about events of the election cycle. With battleground states like Pennsylvania and Michigan in the mix, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Of course, Trump thrives in the spotlight, and his solo appearance on national TV would be nothing short of a spectacle. But for Harris, the decision to participate—or not—could have major repercussions. Polls already show her edging out Trump by a razor-thin margin, but refusing to debate could give Trump the opportunity to sway undecided voters in those crucial swing states.
Democrats Facing Devastating Scenario
And let’s not forget the drama that has already unfolded this election season. Biden’s withdrawal from the race after a lackluster debate performance and a shocking assassination attempt at a Trump rally have already turned this election into one for the history books. Harris, who has stepped into the race with Biden’s endorsement, now finds herself in a high-stakes game of political chess with Trump.
Will Harris rise to the occasion and accept Trump’s challenge? Or will she back out, leaving Trump to dominate the airwaves? One thing’s for sure—Trump’s not backing down, and he’s ready to make his case to the American people, with or without her.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump and Harris are confirmed for a September 10 debate on ABC News, despite Trump’s concerns about the network.
- Trump has proposed two additional debates, one on Fox News on September 4 and another on NBC News on September 25.
- If Harris declines to participate in the additional debates, Trump plans to appear solo, turning them into town hall meetings.
