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?
Trump and Biden agreed to two debates, the one that led to his dropping out, and a second one on September 10th on ABC.
The terms of the debate(s) need to be mutually agreeable to the two candidates. Trump tried to change them and so did Harris. After Biden dropped out, Trump suggested different dates and venues for additional debates including a September 4th debate on Fox, but Harris declined. Harris would only agree to the previously agreed upon date and venue, although Trump agreed to that when he thought he'd be debating Biden. Harris preferred that the mics be kept live at all times but didn't get that concession.
The rules were then and still are now: no live audience, the mic of the person not speaking be muted, no opening statement but closing statements are permitted, no props or notes, and the candidates will not be permitted to interact with campaign staff during the two two-minute commercial breaks.

Your claim that Harris doesn't want to debate Trump is contradicted by the facts. It's the reverse that is more likely correct.
Trump would probably prefer to not debate Harris at all. The contrast will be extreme - an older candidate who lies incessantly, slurs words, and rambles against a stronger, younger, more articulate, better informed, and more intelligent opponent.
We saw Trump making noises about not attending the September 10th ABC debate, which was understood as him being afraid to face her, but he has agreed to be there now. He's hard to predict, so we'll see if he does, but being a no-show will probably hurt him as much or more than debating her.
If he is a no-show, he'll appear weak - something he can't afford right now. When he was ahead in the primaries, skipping debates didn't hurt him. It was seen as confidence and a correct understanding that he didn't need to participate in them to win the nomination.
But this is different. He's now trailing in the polls, and he's already agreed to debate Biden any time, any place. Can he really afford to say effectively that he would debate that other old man but not this younger woman?
If he doesn't show up, Harris will. That will be a terrible look for Trump, as she taunts him on TV before a huge television audience for his cowardice.
The best evidence that he plans to debate is that he's doing the groundwork to claim that the debate was rigged and he was cheated. As you know, in his mind, he never loses. If he loses an election or a trial, he was cheated. There is no reason why this should be different. He's already complaining about ABC being hostile and unfair to him:
Trump slams ABC ahead of pivotal network-hosted debate: 'They’re the worst, they’re the nastiest'
This article is from last month.
Yes. That's when Trump was busy trying to wiggle out of the debate. Harris began taunting him (
source):
"When Trump suggested he might back out of the forthcoming ABC presidential debate, Harris' camp "posted sound effects of squawking, whining chickens" to accompany a video of Trump talking. That's part of a "saucier, more ruthless" approach than President Joe Biden took to Trump."
This and Trump falling behind by 4 points now in the polls makes not participating in Tuesday's debate a bad choice for Trump.
So if it's Kamala Harris, it's that she never agreed to it and that doesn't maker her a chicken, but if Trump hadn't agreed at the time for the ABC debate last month then he's a chicken?
Yes, that's the public perception. Harris does not have to agree to any of Trump's terms that Biden didn't agree to, and Trump must abide by his commitment to debate on September 10th or he appears cowardly. True, he didn't agree to debate Harris when that date was set, but he can't back out now without appearing cowardly.
That would be a double standard.
The situations are different. Harris is not trying to get out of debating with Trump. She'll be there for the only scheduled debate. Trump was trying to get out of it.
Did he originally agree with a debate with Kamala Harris on ABC, then back out, then go back to agreeing to it because he's a chicken?
That's the public perception. Agreeing to debate Harris was implicit when he didn't immediately say that he wouldn't debate her. When he began making noises about getting out of it or changing the rules several days after Biden dropping out, that was understood as him being afraid of her, hence the taunting.
Why didn't Kamala Harris want to debate Donald Trump on September 4th of 2024 for the POTUS 2024 election?
Your original question was, "I wonder why Kamala Harris wouldn't want to debate Donald Trump for POTUS 2024?"
@Daemon Sophic gave you the definitive response - the claim is incorrect.
So why not agree to September 4th as well or instead? You'd have to ask her. My guess is that the date wasn't a factor. She probably didn't want to debate on Fox. Also, she might view giving in to his terms as empowering him. Or maybe she feels that one debate is enough this close to the election and would rather be on the campaign trail than preparing for another debate.
Whatever her reason, it's probably not a fear of debating Trump. If it were, she's have agreed with him when he was trying to get out of the September 10th debate.
