Harris says she’s ready to debate Trump

Vice President Harris said Thursday she’s “ready to go” for a debate with former President Trump and needled her likely GOP rival after he has suggested he may not want to participate in an event hosted by ABC News, as previously planned.

“You have been asking me about the debate, and I’ll tell you I’m ready to debate Donald Trump,” Harris told reporters after arriving back in Washington from a two-day trip to Indiana and Texas.

“I have agreed to the previously agreed upon Sept. 10 debate. He agreed to that previously,” Harris said. “Now, here he is backpedaling, and I’m ready, and I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage, and so I’m ready. Let’s go.”

Trump told reporters Tuesday he would “absolutely” debate Harris — the likely Democratic nominee after President Biden stepped aside — at least once before Election Day.

But he blasted ABC News, the planned host for the scheduled Sept. 10 presidential debate.

Trump already said he will debate Harris more than once. Harris has to throw in the back peddle for attention.

She fears Trump because he will have Harris for lunch!

That sounds like too much exercise for him. Maybe he’s just lying again

That date was for Joe Biden 2 months ago. It will be the 17th of Sept on Foxnews. How come she hasn’t accepted it today?
