“Inappropriate.” This is how Donald Trump judged, on Thursday, July 25, the fact of organizing a face-to-face with his new rival Kamala Harris before she was officially designated by the Democratic Party. For her part, his rival said “ready” to debate with the Republican candidate for the American presidential election. “Trump agreed to a debate on September 10. Now it seems he is backpedaling”the Democratic candidate mocked on the X network.
Donald Trump had assured that he was “quite” inclined to debate with her, but under different conditions, the choice of the planned channel, ABC, no longer suited him. “It would be inappropriate to schedule anything with Harris because Democrats could very well change their minds.”Donald Trump’s team attacked in a statement. “What happened to ‘anytime, anywhere'”the former senator mocked in return on X, in reference to the expression used by Donald Trump when he responded to Joe Biden’s challenge to debate.
The former Republican president had agreed with Joe Biden to debate twice before the November presidential election, on June 27 and September 10. But the outgoing president’s disastrous performance during this first televised duel finally led Joe Biden on Sunday to give up running for a second term, after weeks of calls to leave the race. Since this thunderbolt, his vice-president Kamala Harris has taken up the torch, and launched her campaign, now with broad support among Democrats. A big favorite, she has not yet been officially named the Democratic candidate for the November election.
