Kamala Harris’ campaign accused former president Donald Trump of “running scared” ahead of a Fox News debate he announced will take place next month.
On Friday, Harris formally became her party’s presumptive presidential candidate.
“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out,” the VP’s campaign communications director, Michael Tyler, said.
“He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept. 10.”
“The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime-time national audience,”
“We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”
Harris wanted to face off against Trump at a pre-arranged ABC News debate on September 10 but Trump’s campaign declined to debate Harris after Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
