ABC is reporting that former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have officially agreed to a presidential debate to be held on Sept. 10, which will be the first face-to-face event between the two nominees. The announcement came on Thursday not long after Trump held a press conference where he told members of the press he proposed three debates with three TV networks. He then revealed he agreed on certain dates in September.
A few days prior to the announcement, Trump had stated that he would not be participating in the ABC debate in a post on social media due to a lawsuit he filed against the network. However, that’s now changed. The news conference, held at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate, which marks his first public appearance since Harris was named the Democratic Party’s new nominee and her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, after President Joe Biden was strong-armed out due to his obvious cognitive decline.
The former president had agreed, according to a report from 2News, to a debate with Biden on ABC in late September, but then pulled out of it and made a call for Harris to join him in an event held on Fox News.
Here’s more from the article:
rump has opened a press conference at his home in Palm Beach, Florida, his first since Vice President Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday. He warned of World War III, a depression of “the 1929 variety” and a nation overrun with migrants from south of the U.S.-Mexico border.
“I think that our country is right now in the most dangerous position it’s ever been in, from an economic standpoint, from a safety standpoint,” he went on to say during the event, sprinkling that statement with a little extra flavor by stating that President Joe Biden is the “worst president in the history of our country” and that Vice President Kamala Harris also is also pretty horrible. Which is true.
Trump’s supporters typically hear his “America First” and “Make America Great Again” rallying cries as a fundamentally optimistic vision for fixing deep-seated problems. The question is whether more moderate voters hear the same message or are turned off by such sweeping, often-hyperbolic critiques of the country.
This is going to be some super entertaining television. In fact, it might be more entertaining than when Trump took on Biden. Hard to imagine that being the case, but this is Cacklin’ Copilot Kamabla we’re talking about here. If this is done in front of a live audience and is absolutely unscripted, she’s going to choke worse than B. Rabbit in the Eminem film “8 Mile.” Just watch it. You’ll get the reference.
All sorts of nonsensical word salads will come flying out of Harris’ mouth. No doubt it will stunt the momentum she’s enjoying at the moment. And we need that if we want to see Trump in the White House come January 2025.
