As Twitchy has reported, Democrats and the media have been crowing all day about Donald Trump "backing out" of a September 10 debate on ABC with Vice President Kamala Harris. No matter how many Community Notes they get hit with, they refuse to acknowledge that Trump agreed to two debates with President Joe Biden. Biden performed so spectacularly badly in their first debate that he had to drop out of not just the second debate, but the race itself.
Fox News has offered to hold a debate between Trump and Harris on September 4, but for now, Harris is claiming that she's going to show up at the September 10 debate with or without Trump. The Kamala Harris X account has called Fox News Trump's "safe space."
The moderators would be Brett Baier and Martha McCallum, not Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham. It sounds a lot less biased than CNN's choice of Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.
Now David Plouffe, Barack Obama's campaign manager, is calling Fox News Trump's "happy place." Also, because this debate doesn't stipulate as the Biden campaign's did that there be no audience, there would be an arena of people. Plouffe calls it a "Trump rally," even though it would be held in Pennsylvania, whose governor is likely to be chosen as Harris' running mate as soon as Monday.
It wouldn't be "just like the debate he did in June," because it wouldn't follow the Biden campaign's conditions that it be held on a Biden-friendly network like CNN or ABC or CBS.
And Trump didn't go running to Fox … Fox News offered to host a debate and invited both candidates. If anyone's backing out, it's Harris.
Trump debated on CNN, with two moderators who had likened his rhetoric to that of Adolf Hitler.
Harris sure sounded anxious to debate Trump earlier this week at a rally.
September 4. That's when he'll say it to your face, now that you're officially the nominee.
Trump agreed to each and every one of the Biden campaign's conditions for the debate, and he still destroyed Biden.
It's a stretch even to say he dropped out. He was forced out.
It shouldn't have to be repeated so often. Trump agreed to debate Biden. Biden dropped out.
