Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump appeared to have retracted their earlier agreement to debate, with Trump stating that he “probably” will participate but that he “can also make a case for not doing it.”…
The Republican lawmaker was questioned multiple times during an appearance with Fox News Channel on whether or not he would agree to debate Harris.
After months of implying that Joe Biden was not mentally prepared for the debate, the former US president was excited to take on the Democratic contender. But Harris emerged as the Democratic front-runner for president after Biden withdrew from the contest.
Ever since, Trump has questioned the conditions of the initial debate he and Biden agreed to. He has referred to ABC News as “fake news” and proposed that the discussion scheduled for September 10 be switched to a different network.
In a phone conversation with reporters last week, Trump was asked if he would guarantee to face Harris in a debate at least once. “Oh yes, definitely,” was his reply. I would want to,” and stated that debating was required.
On Monday, July 29, during a recent interview, host Laura Ingraham kept pressing Trump about whether or not he would agree to a debate.
“I would like to have a debate. However, I can also say this. Everyone is aware of who I am. And everybody knows who she is today,” Trump remarked.
In the end, Trump declared, “The answer is yes, I will probably end up debating.”
After a minute, he concluded, indicating that all debates should take place prior to the start of early voting in each state. However, he also stated, “The answer is yes, but I can also make a case for not doing it.”
