Trump's Campaign Says He Won't Schedule Debates With Harris Yet
HuffPost
A Trump campaign spokesperson said it would be “inappropriate to schedule things with Harris” because the Democratic nominee hasn’t been formally announced.
Donald Trump has decided not to schedule any debates with Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting he may skip a debate he’d previously planned with President Joe Biden.
In a statement Thursday, Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign communications director, said that it would be “inappropriate” to commit to a debate before the Democratic National Convention next month.
“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,” he said in a statement.
“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.”
Trump was scheduled to debate Biden, who dropped his bid for re-election on Sunday, for a second time in September, just a few months before the presidential election. The Republican nominee said he’d debate the president “any time, any place.”
