Vice-President and likely Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has been goading Donald Trump to debate her for the last several days and told reporters as recently as Thursday that she is “ready to debate Donald Trump,” even as she accused him of “backpedaling” on the original agreement for a second president debate on Sept. 10.
On Thursday night, Trump made it official: He’s too afraid to debate Harris.
The Trump campaign posted this on their campaign website:
Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee. There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party – namely Barack Hussein Obama – that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone “better.” Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds.
The debate is on the schedule. He could simply say, “I’ll debate whoever Democrats nominate on Aug. 1.” But this isn’t about confusion over the Democratic nominee. There’s no drama, as the party quickly coalesced around Harris.
The statement does leave Trump wiggle room to change his mind down the road, but he doesn’t want to debate Harris, and he’s reneged on the original deal for that second presidential debate.
That’s not a sign of strength or confidence.
Trump is afraid of a mere woman.
