All hell is breaking loose on the campaign trail.
Kamala Harris ran scared.
And Kamala Harris backed down after this challenge from Donald Trump.
Donald Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago – Harris hasn’t had a solo press conference since December 2023 and won’t sit for any interviews now that she’s the Democrat nominee for President – where he announced a schedule of three debates to take place over the course of the month of September.
“I think it is very important to have debates and we’ve agreed with Fox on a date of Sept. 4, we’ve agreed with NBC, fairly full agreement, subject to them, on Sept. 10 and we’ve agreed with ABC on Sept. 25. So we have those three dates, those networks, they’re very anxiously awaiting that date and those dates,” Trump began.
“We’ve spoken to the heads of the networks and its all been confirmed other than some fairly minor details, audience … some location, what city would we put it in to. But all things that will be settled very easily. I think it’ll be very easy. The other side has to agree to the terms. They may not agree. I don’t know if they are going to agree,” Trump added.
Trump explained that it’s important for voters to see the candidates explain their views without the benefits of a script.
Harris won’t speak without a teleprompter because, over the course of the last four years, she became a national joke for her word salads where she tries to sound like a profound thinker but comes across like a parody from a Saturday Night Live skit.
That was a point Trump was happy to make in his press conference.
“She hasn’t done an interview. She can’t do an interview, she’s barely competent,” Trump stated.
Harris responded by backing out of the Fox News debate and refusing to commit to the September 25 debate on NBC.
Harris will only debate September 10 on ABC, the network filled with the most cartoonishly anti-Trump hosts and who can be counted on to protect Harris with rigged questions designed to tee her up to look good.

The September 25 debate will only happen if Harris performs poorly in the ABC debate.
That means there is a very good chance September 10 will be Donald Trump’s last chance to reset the race on his terms.
