It’s just breaking that Kamala Harris is refusing to agree to the Fox News debate. I think nearly everyone expected that.
But she’s also trying to take charge of this debate process by suggesting Trump is a wild card:
.@VP Harris will not agree to the September 4th Fox debate, campaign official tells me. Says future debates are contingent on Trump showing up to @ABC debate on Sept 10th
Willing to have convos before Sept 10 about debates after that date
So ABC will have 1st Harris/Trump debate— Selina Wang (@selinawangtv) August 8, 2024
Selina Wang is the same propagandist who did that piece for ABC News last night defending Tim Walz.
But as far as Kamala goes, her campaign saying “future debates are contingent on Trump showing” is such bullcrap. Absolute and utter bullcrap. Trump is not scared to debate her, as she appears to be suggesting here. But she’s clearly scared of going on Fox News because she only wants Democrat news organizations to ask her questions.
If I were Trump, I’d tell her its Fox News and ABC News or no debate. Trump goes in hostile environments all the time and – I’m not saying Fox News is hostile, but she should absolutely debate there.
So will Trump fold or will he stick to his guns? Or does it even matter?
UPDATE: These two responses:
So Trump agrees to do a debate on basically any channel, anytime, with whatever candidate (as they switch btwn Biden and Harris), under almost any condition (wouldn’t sit, wanted to stand with Biden).
But Harris won’t debate on Fox. She’s afraid of Fox but will handle Putin. Ok.

I dunno, it seems a lot weaker for Kamala to run from two additional debates while only agreeing to the one Trump negotiated with the boss she stabbed in the back https://t.co/xjXIZXOpd6
