Vice President Kamala Harris said that if Donald Trump backed out of the September 10 debate on ABC — which Trump had agreed to with Joe Biden, not Harris — she would show up alone and do the debate by herself.

Fox News offered the candidates a debate on September 4, and Harris' camp didn't accept. That left Trump to take the stage alone, which he did in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It turned into a town hall, and man, was the crowd receptive to Trump.

Trump addressed the accusation that his running mate, J.D. Vance, is "weird."

One of the great advantages of the town hall format over a debate was that host Sean Hannity was able to show clips of Harris from her 2020 presidential campaign, including her promise to ban fracking.

Hannity cut off the town hall after the length of Harris' CNN interview with Dana Bash:

It's easy to see why one of Biden's rules was no live audience. Trump owns this crowd.

Trump again presented himself as the Washington outsider:

Harris would have had a much better chance debating with Brett Baier and Martha McCallum.
