As more and more lawmakers over the weekend – Despite what the lamestream media would have, you believe President Trump has no fear of Vice President Kamala Harris and says he would be willing to have “multiple debates” with his new presumptive opponent.
Trump says he would be willing to debate Harris multiple times if she is nominated by the Democratic National Convention as its presidential candidate.
“I would be willing to do more than one debate, actually,” Trump said on a call with reporters, two days after President Joe Biden in a stunning move dropped out of the election contest and endorsed Harris as his replacement atop the Democratic ticket.
“Yes, absolutely, I’d want to” debate Harris, the Republican nominee said.
“I think if you’re in the Democratic nominee or Republican nominee, you really have an obligation to debate,” he said.
“So, it’s very important,” said Trump, who was formally nominated last week, two days after narrowly avoiding being killed in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania.
Trump previously debated Biden on June 27 when the president was the presumptive Democratic nominee. It was Biden’s dismal performance in that showdown that immediately raised questions about his mental acuity and had Dems hitting the panic button, realizing the current President now had no chance of beating Trump a second time. The debate debacle quickly sparked calls for Biden to step aside and allow another Democratic nominee to take his place.
The next debate between Trump and Biden, had he not dropped out was supposed to be hosted by ABC on September 10. But now the former president has nixed that idea for his first battle with Harris.
“I’m not thrilled about ABC because [of] fake news I watched last night,” Trump said. “They’re actually trying to make a hero out of Joe Biden when he was the worst president in history, and they were doing things like with Kamala, like what a wonderful thing that she is running.”
“I don’t like the idea of ABC.”
Trump also said he expected that his debate against Harris would have the same result as his debate against Biden.
“I want to debate her, and she’ll be no different because they have the same policies,” Trump said.
Meanwhile, as Trump seeks a less biased network than ABC, Fox News executives have sent letters to former President Donald Trump’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaigns requesting to host a presidential debate on Sept. 17 in Pennsylvania. The network said it is open to negotiating the date, format, and place, but proposed anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum moderate the debate.
