Hmmmmm?
Excuse he’s Leading in the polls?
Not quite true there Donald…..
Former President Trump in a new interview questioned why he should debate Vice President Harris amid pressure from her campaign to do so.
Trump told Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo that he wants to debate his likely Democratic opponent, but left the door open to opting out of it.“
Well, I want to. And we’re leading in the polls it seems by quite a bit still,” Trump said, pointing to the shake-up after President Biden withdrew from the race. “She’s better than he is, but I think ultimately she’ll be worse than him.”
Trump noted it was Biden’s team who pushed for a June debate, after which Democrats urged the president to step aside as the candidate.
“If I didn’t do the debate, they’d say, ‘Oh Trump’s not doing the debate.’ It’s the same thing they’ll say now,” Trump said on “Mornings With Maria.”
“I mean right now I say, why should I do a debate?” he said. “I’m leading in the polls. And, everybody knows her, everybody knows me.”
The comments from Trump, which were recorded Thursday and broadcast Friday, are the latest instance of the former president hedging about a debate with Harris as she inches closer to securing the Democratic nomination…..
Be afraid Donald. Be very afraid.
HE IS…..
Harris Campaign Says Trump Is ‘Scared’
Kamala Harris’s campaign taunted Donald Trump and his latest non-commitment to a debate with her, calling him “scared” in a statement.
Said Harris campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond: “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.”
He added: “Since he talks the talk, he should walk the walk and – as Vice President Harris said earlier this week – say it to her face on September 10. She’ll be there waiting to see if he’ll show up.”
