As soon as Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 race, Vice President Kamala Harris took to the stage in Atlanta to rally her supporters and discuss her plans as the Democratic party’s new presumptive presidential nominee. However, Harris couldn’t resist taking a jab at President Donald Trump, challenging him to a one-on-one debate and claiming he has refused to do so.
Despite Trump stating on numerous occasions that he would debate Harris, he has expressed concerns about ABC News hosting the event. This is not surprising considering the biased coverage he has received from the network and its anchor, George Stephanopoulos.
In response to this, Harris called out Trump and his running mate, Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, and challenged Trump to meet her on the debate stage.
It’s no secret that Trump and his running mate have a lot to say about Harris. However, instead of hiding behind social media and making vague comments, Harris called on Trump to say it to her face.
This shows her confidence and willingness to engage in a fair and open debate, something that Trump has been calling for since Biden’s announcement.
During a call with reporters, Trump reaffirmed his earlier statements and said that he would “absolutely” debate Harris. He even went a step further and said he would do it more than once. This shows his eagerness to challenge his opponent and engage in a lively political debate, which is something that voters deserve to see.
However, it’s not just about debating for the sake of debating. Trump also emphasized the importance of timing, suggesting that the debate should take place before the votes start being cast. This is a valid concern, as the American people deserve to see and hear from both candidates before making their decision at the polls.
Trump has even suggested that the debate should be hosted by Fox News instead of ABC News, given the network’s bias and his strong relationship with the network. This further highlights his desire for a fair and impartial debate, where both candidates get an equal opportunity to present their views and ideas to the American people.
Harris’ challenge to Trump is nothing more than political posturing. She knows that Trump has expressed his willingness to debate her, but she chooses to ignore it and make misleading statements to rally her supporters.
However, Trump has shown time and time again that he is ready and willing to debate Harris and expose the flaws in her policies and plans for the country. The American people deserve to see this debate happen, and it should take place on a fair and impartial platform.
