“Kamala Harris Responds to Trump Chickening Out of ABC Debate”
“A terrified Trump backed out of the planned debate and demanded one in his safe space in a late-night social media rant.
In a late-night post on his social media platform, Donald Trump announced his decision to back out of the highly anticipated September 10 debate on ABC with Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. The former president cited ongoing litigation with ABC as his reason for withdrawing, but his fear is palpable in his remarks. Trump is clearly panicking as VP Harris continues to climb in the polls, and the convicted felon appears scared to face off against the seasoned prosecutor.
Trump's alternative proposal for a debate on right-wing Fox News, set in Pennsylvania on September 4, includes demands for moderators of his choosing and a "packed arena" reminiscent of his campaign rallies. It's clear Trump wants to control the debate environment, avoiding a neutral platform like ABC.
Despite Trump's excuse involving litigation—stemming from ABC's accurate report on a federal judge's ruling in the E. Jean Carroll case, who found that Donald Trump raped Carroll—the lawsuit was filed in March, and Trump had initially agreed to the ABC debate in May. His recent change of heart is widely seen as a reaction to Harris' growing popularity, his plummeting poll numbers, and a series of disastrous public events.
"Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime-time national audience.”
