‘She is tough’: Sen. Coons on why Trump ‘walked away’ from Harris debate

Former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) are ramping up their campaign attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, who is set to select her running mate in the coming days. Harris campaign co-chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss why the defacto Democratic nominee is urging Trump to join her on the debate stage, and how she's standing up to Vance’s “unhinged” claims.

Go BLUE! The person behind the scenes, the person who gave her lots of opportunities to learn how to be president and then stepped aside to let her take center stage as the candidate this year has got to be proud of the legacy he will leave behind when he leaves office, Yes, Kamala Harris is putting a stamp on her own candidacy, but President Joe Biden is truly a great, great man. Vote BLUE!

has trump ever wanted to face a lawyer in public?

[charliepaige]

If he has previously claimed that she is so pathetic, then why wouldn’t he debate her? Oh because he’s intimidated, that’s right.

[deanbusch]

I just watched Trump at the NABJ, OH MY GOD. Huge racists rant in the 1st two minutes.

[bryanpotter]

Donald Trump would get scorched by kamala Harris ❤❤

[richardmacauley]

Trump called President Harris weak….so he should be delighted to debate her.

[trepabeard]

It's because he knows that she is going to destroy him and make him look stupid AF on national TV, like he is.

You can't go wrong starting a unity tour in the birthplace of the nation.

[banzeyegaming]

Harris said that she’ll debate an empty podium if need be.

This’ll be _good._

[feliatene]

MAGA members crying about “She isn’t the nominee” but yet to realize that Biden wasn’t the official nominee also.

[dianeowen]

"a fawning supplicant" Best description ever.

[bigmac]

I truly believe that Kamala Harris will win and win big.

[BlaacHollow]

If he chickens out, he should have his KFC taken away as that would be considered canibalism.

[FoOtFoOt]

Give him a break. His bone spurs are flaring up.

I'm With Vice President Kamala Harris 100%.

[MRDOA]

She (Kamala Harris) has dedicated her life to defending Democracy, Civil Rights, and the checks and balances of America.
In terms of a running mate that Kamala, may choose; I think that Jos Shapiro will be an excellent candidate.

[wesleyc.]

Neither Trump nor Putin has any dirt on her.

[sleevynicks]

You can’t judge a starving man on his table manners. As the Palestinians have a right to exist without living in the largest outdoor prison ever.
