Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign criticized former President Trump for his reluctance to debate her after he questioned the necessity of participating. Trump told Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo, “I mean right now I say, why should I do a debate? I’m leading in the polls. And, everybody knows her, everybody knows me.”
Cedric Richmond, co-chair of Harris’s campaign, responded, saying Trump “needs to man up.” Richmond added, “He’s got no problem spreading lies and hateful garbage at his rallies or in interviews with right-wing commentators. But he’s apparently too scared to do it standing across the stage from the Vice President of the United States.”
Harris urged Trump to “say it to my face” during a rally in Atlanta on Tuesday, intensifying her challenge for a debate. The Democratic National Committee is launching a digital campaign starting Saturday to criticize Trump for being “afraid to debate,” beginning in Atlanta and extending to battleground state newspapers.
Trump’s stance on debating Harris has been inconsistent, ranging from an initial commitment to a debate to his recent remarks suggesting he might not participate. The agreed debate on September 10, hosted by ABC News, now faces uncertainty due to Trump’s comments.
