(The Guardian) Trump says he wants to debate Harris
Donald Trump has said he wants to debate Kamala Harris despite speculation that he was seeking a way out.

Trump had been due to face Joe Biden on 10 September but, after the president’s withdrawal, cast doubt on whether he would still take part.

In a press call with reporters on Tuesday, the former president was asked if he committed to at least one more debate. “Oh, yes, absolutely, I’d want to,” he said. “I think it’s important. I’m not thrilled about ABC because they’re truly fake news. “I watched last night. They’re actually trying to make a hero out of Joe Biden when he was the worst president in history and they were doing things like, with Kamala, like, what a wonderful thing it is that she is running.”

Trump added: “She is not the candidate that they should have. I know it. We all know it. So, I’m not thrilled with ABC. I guess they commit but I have at least equal say and I don’t like the idea of ABC. I would be willing to do more than one debate, actually.”
In a call with reporters aimed at hammering Kamala Harris over border security and immigration, Donald Trump said: She’s the same as Biden but much more radical. She’s a radical left person and this country doesn’t want a radical left person to destroy it. She’s far more radical than he is. She wants open borders. She wants things that nobody wants. You take a look at the electric car mandate, everything.

The former president added: “What you should do is take a look at San Francisco now compared to before she became the district attorney, and you’ll see what you’ll do to our country. So I think she should be easier than Biden because he was slightly more mainstream, but not much.”
 
(The Guardian) Donald Trump has said he would “absolutely” debate Kamala Harris and that he would be “willing” to debate her more than once.

Trump, in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday, said: I agreed to debate with Joe Biden. But I want to debate her and she’ll be no different because they have the same policies. I would be willing to do more than one debate actually.

Trump and Joe Biden had previously agreed to two debates, the second scheduled to take place on 10 September on ABC.

But Trump has in recent days pushed for Fox News to hold the second debate instead, calling ABC “a joke”.

“I’m not thrilled with ABC,” Trump added on Tuesday: I guess they committed but I have at least equal say, and I don’t like the idea of ABC.
 
Somebody needs to whisper to The Donald.... or rather, to his chief of staff or campaign manager,... that THAT is a really bad idea.

It doesn't matter what he says, it will instantly be painted as racist and sexist.


It is a No Win.
I think they know that; the way they look at it, they figure they're gonna get painted as that regardless of what plan they go with so why not lean into it and get it over with?
