‘She Will Be Exposed’: Trump Accuses Kamala Harris Of Trying To Escape Debates

Republican nominee Donald Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of trying to escape presidential debates during a Wednesday appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

Trump committed to debating Harris with Fox News moderators on September 4 rather than on ABC News, leading Harris to accuse him of attempting to back out of a debate. The former president told the “Fox & Friends” co-hosts that he is willing to debate Harris to expose her ahead of the 2024 election.

“I think debates are very important and I think she’ll be exposed, just like Biden was exposed. Nobody knew Biden was that bad and then he was exposed during the debate and they tried to have a series of comebacks after that and they didn’t work out too well and they viciously overthrew him. I mean, he was overthrown using every trick in the book, they overthrew him,” Trump said.

The former president initially was scheduled to debate President Joe Biden on ABC in the second week of September, but has expressed concerns about the debate being moderated by ABC News hosts. Trump refuted the Harris campaign’s accusation that he is “running scared” from the debate by relying on Fox News to “bail him out.”

“She doesn’t want to debate, look, she doesn’t want to debate. She wants to say I don’t want to debate, but I do want to debate,” Trump continued. “You know, when it came to Biden, I accepted everything, I accepted Jake Tapper, I accepted everything because he didn’t want to debate after I accepted everything. The only thing I said, let’s stand up, they wanted to sit down and I said that’s not gonna look so great. But I accepted everything and pretty much that’s the way I do it right now because I want to debate her. I think it’s important for the country that we debate.”
