Why didn't Kamala Harris want to debate Donald Trump?

If Donald Trump agreed to debate with Fox News, then Donald Trump can go ahead and debate with Fox News.

This doesn't answer my question & isn't relevant to my question, but thank you for presenting your red herring in order to demonstrate that you don't have a good explanation to offer for answering my question.

First I heard of a debate.

She's busy with a job and ramping up a campaign, unlike the criminal candidate whose only schedule items are golf and court hearings for his crimes.
So it's just that she wanted to postpone a debate?

And last night was the NFL season opener, which is a huge conflict.

Edit: OK, Sept 4. And most of the sources that reference the Sept 4 debate are right wing, so no wonder the properly informed didn't hear about it.
Seems like a flawed/invalid argument with an ad hom & assumption of the conclusion.

I don't know. There was one already set for Sept 10.
Ok, fine; in that case it would be that she's specifically postponing it to this date, that is, if she doesn't get cold feet or a dog gets wagged which precludes her from being available for it.

What is ad hom about sound thinkers avoiding poor quality media sources?
Nice; this is a creative combination of a strawman and a loaded question.

There's a great deal of "speculation" so I recommend looking for what few "facts" exist.



Just five days earlier, he had declared he would not debate on ABC and said his agreement with the network had been “terminated.” He wrote on his social media site that if Harris wouldn’t appear on Fox News on Sept. 4 instead, “I won’t see her at all.”

On Thursday, he announced a change of heart — and tried to pressure Harris to agree to two more September debates on Fox and on NBC.

Christ.

US elections are remarkably vapid, but a thread taking a partisan stance on why they are debating next weekend rather than this one takes the cake.
A September 4th debate didn't happen and cannot happen; that day has come and gone. A debate that's supposedly going to happen next week has not yet occurred; we're not going to know whether or not it actually does happen before it's supposed to happen.

No, it was RW sources saying Trump agreed to it. Nothing set in stone, nothing agreed to by Harris, juat Trump running his mouth.

Basically you started an inane thread and are inanely trying to dig yourself into an even deeper hole of inanity.

There are so many awful partisan threads on this awful election, but you still have managed to make the worst one, which you are embarrassingly trying to defend.

Well done :trophy::100:

Trump tried to back out of the Sept 10 debate when it wasn't Biden, when that flopped, he proposed three debates under unreasonable terms the first of which was to be Sept. 4, Harris stood her ground and said no, The Sept. 10 date was what you agreed for a presidential debate and that is where I will be. That attempt of his to bluster his way in also failed and so now he is going back to the original date.
The true story of this which apparently you missed, was DJT trying to bluster his way into a situation that he thought would be in his favor, racous presentation with a live audience to cheer and cat call. After prior experience nobody was going to give it to him so he backed down and backed down so far that he wouldn't even have live mics because his handlers objected.
She did nothing except state that she was holding to the original date and didn't care what the weirdo did. He capitulated.

Darn @anotherneil , that reality thing gets in the way of another Trump story, like his helicopter crash with imaginary people on board.

This is disingenuous, and you and every single other person who has seen this thread knows that.

When you set up a debate, one party of the debate must make an agreement with the other party in the debate. That happened for September 10th debate. It did not happen for anything on September 4th (or September 5th, or September 6th, or September 6th, or September 8th, or September 9th,)

I can announce that I plan to have lunch tomorrow with Reese Witherspoon. And I can even make a reservation. But that does not impose an obligation on Miss Witherspoon to show up. And it would be disingenuous of me to come back to tomorrow and claim she stood me up.

False analogy, unless Reese Witherspoon would have a reason and expectation to be having lunch with you and agrees to lunch on a different day - does she have a reason and expectation to be having lunch with you? Has she agreed to lunch with you on a different day? I want proof - please post video or pics of this lunch date with her when it happens.

The POTUS 2024 debate was supposed to take place yesterday & from what I understand, it didn't take place because it seems like Kamala Harris doesn't want to debate Donald Trump.

I wonder why Kamala Harris wouldn't want to debate Donald Trump for POTUS 2024? Was she afraid to debate him, or is there some other reason?
And in more recent news.

Trump branded a 'chicken' after suggesting he's skipping ABC debate with Harris

Donald Trump has appeared to have laid the groundwork for backing out of the next presidential debate against his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris in an explosive Truth Social rant against ABC News, leading everyone to call him 'chicken'.

In a post shared late night on his social media network, he lambasted ABC for being "fake news" and went after several of their reporters and contributors after apparently watching their morning show.

Trump wrote: "I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?
