As we reported, former President Donald Trump agreed to a presidential debate on Fox, moderated by Bret Baier and Martha McCallum in Pennsylvania. After agreeing to go on CNN, this time, Trump set some terms of his own with Kamala Harris, specifying an audience--something that the Biden team previously hadn't wanted.
Quite frankly, he's gracious to give them any debate at all, given the machinations they've pulled, shoving Joe Biden to the side. As Trump noted in his statement about the debate, what the Democrats did here is the "real threat to democracy."

Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience.
We're happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have agreed to. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace, should have no problem with that unless he's too scared to show up on the 10th.
Um, Harris team?
Biden is the one who isn't showing up; it was Biden with whom the debate agreement was made. But Democrats were so scared after Trump defeated him so badly in the first one--where Biden got all the terms he wanted and a debate on CNN. It couldn't have been more weighted to Biden, yet he still flamed out so badly that the Democrat elite had to shove him to the side and swap him out. They have some nerve even talking about who's scared, when they can't even stand behind the candidate that the Democratic voters selected in the primaries.
If they want Trump to honor the terms that were agreed to, then they need to produce Biden for the debate. Kamala doesn't even have one primary vote, she is now the "nominee" through manipulation. It's Kamala who wants and needs the protection of the media.
Kamala doesn't want to debate because she, like Biden, has a problem with just normal communication; it would be very evident. That's why she flamed out early in the debates in 2020. That's why she isn't taking questions or having any pressers. That's why she doesn't even have one primary vote. She is just trying to rely on the media to manufacture "excitement" about her, and the media is going all in on the effort. She didn't even show up at the NABJ event, where she likely had a very friendly audience. Trump, meanwhile, did go, despite knowing that he'd face "journalists" trying to bag him:
Kamala pulled out of the debate - she’s terrified to debate Trump …

I mean the correct response to all of this is why is Joe Biden sending Kamala Harris in his place for the second debate? https://t.co/Q4gR0xsmSa
