First debate set for Donald Trump, Kamala Harris as 2024 race tightens

Donald Trump recommitted to debating Vice President Kamala Harris after recently backing out, holding a lengthy news conference Thursday in which he taunted his new rival, boasted of his crowd on Jan. 6, 2021, and lashed out at questions about the enthusiasm her campaign has been generating.

As the Republican presidential nominee addressed reporters at his Palm Beach, Florida, estate, ABC announced that Trump and Harris, the Democratic nominee, have agreed to a Sept. 10 debate, setting up a widely anticipated faceoff in an already unparalleled election. Trump said he had proposed three debates with three television networks in September.

Trump again wrongly insisted there had been a “peaceful transfer” of power in 2021 and renewed attacks on Republican rivals like Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, whom Trump has harshly criticized since Kemp refused to go along with his false theories of election fraud.

In taking questions from reporters for more than an hour, Trump tried to draw a contrast with Harris, who has not held a news conference since President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race. #Trump #News #Politics

Why not the September 4th debate. Is it because it is on FOX? Harris is afraid she wont get the questions in advance?

Fun fact:
The sitting vice president presides over the final certification of the electoral ballot count.

Harris has answered no questions yet, media not asking her anything 😂😂

Harris needs to be sure her water and drinks are not tampered with.

He sure was a panicked mess at that media presentation in Florida yesterday. Do you think he's finally caught on that he's gonna lose in November? I mean he was a fear mondering, threatening mess. I don't want THAT leading our country. Weak. Just weak.

As usual trump giving his [fear[fear speech and going on about the same-o same_o NONSENCE as he does with GLOOM and DISPAIR, Woe unto me outlook which i find very depressing so i muted him! Mike Pence once said: Anyone who doesnt uphold our constitution should NOT be president and trump once said to the American people : He would terminate the constitution ! Something to seriously think about i would think! Dictatorship VS His family seriously needs to seek help for him with his mind !
