Kamala Harris has firmly rejected a proposed debate with Donald Trump on Fox News, insisting on adhering to the September 10 debate date originally planned with Joe Biden.
Following Biden’s withdrawal, the question shifted regarding whether the debate would proceed with the original date or a different one. Harris criticized Trump for attempting to alter the debate conditions, accusing him of manipulating the situation for his advantage. However, Trump stated he would not want to debate through ABC News due to the conflict of interest with his current lawsuit against them.
The controversy has led to accusations from both sides, with supporters of each camp alleging the other is fearful of the debate. Trump’s supporters argue that Harris is avoiding a debate on Fox News due to the network’s potential bias, while Harris’s supporters claim that Trump is intimidated by the prospect of debating her directly.
Critics of the Fox News proposal contend that changing the debate venue could lead to biased questioning, given the network’s perceived political leanings. On the other hand, some view Harris’s refusal to participate under the new conditions as an attempt to dodge difficult questions.
Reactions to the debate switch up can be seen below:
No one is surprised Kamala is backing out of debating Trump after what my girl @TulsiGabbard did to her.
I wouldn’t show up on a debate stage ever again if I was her either.

Kamala is too afraid to debate Trump. Trump went on CNN. Kamala can’t even handle Fox News.
That’s a fact 🧐

Who thinks Kamala Harris is actually scared of debating Trump?
