The former president said there would be a debate on Fox News on September 4 in Pennsylvania, as well as the previously agreed to September 10 debate on ABC News in Pennsylvania, and a third debate on NBC News on September 25 in Michigan. “Details to follow. I look forward to seeing Kamala at all three Debates!” he wrote.
However, the Harris campaign suggested that this schedule was not agreed to from their side, except for the ABC debate.
“We’re pleased Trump finally agreed to debate the Vice President on ABC after previously trying to back out. We are open to another debate, and we’ll continue those conversations. But to be clear, any additional debate would be subject to Trump actually showing up on September 10. We’re not playing his games,” a Harris campaign aide told Newsweek in a Sunday morning email.
Drumpf’s camp is trying to control the situation and act like they are calling the shots. This is making them look weak and inept. Not the message they want to send.
Trump’s campaign is relying on the Dems taking the high road and going along with it. Good to see the Harris campaign isn’t falling for it, altthough they should have been more clear that they did not agree to the other two.
To get the message across to voters who don’t read into everything they should have said:
Yes, people can infer that means the Fox News one is a no go since it is prior to Sept 10th, but a good chunk of the population needs that spelled out.
I am so tired of this going high shit. Going high means you don’t understand the urgency.
So happy to see Harris being scrappy and fighting for people. The need is (and was) bigger than any politicians’ dignity.
