Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

Trump: "I am chickening out of the debate with Harris, and trying to force it onto a right-wing propaganda network that won't let me lose."

New York Times: "Trump has accepted the invitation to debate Harris."

No he didn't, you fucking hacks. How the fuck does one accept their own invitation? He wasn't invited to shit, he burned his invitation and is demanding Harris play a new game.

Fuck Trump for being a cowardly weasel, and fuck the New York Times for this bullshit narrative.

Delete this post for using the word Agrees in the title.

This is a weird way to say “Trump backs out of debating Harris on ABC”.

She didn't though. This is blatant misinformation.

He’ll do a debate if it’s in his safe space. Snowflake.

Headline so insanely misleading they had to change it lol. NYTimes is such a joke these days

I agree to Trump withdrawing from the election.

"Trump agrees with himself"

...say, is it perhaps weird to make meetings with yourself?

Fox Moderator: "Vice President Harris, how would you respond to the accusation that your administration was responsible for the supply-chain crisis, grocery price inflation, massive corporate layoffs, Texas power outages, the summer heat wave, and the border apocalypse?"

Harris: "What? Now wait..."

Fox Moderator: "President Trump. They say you have the best golf record of any president in history. How did you accomplish this historic feat?"

...

Her statement should make clear that she is only interested in debates hosted by news networks, citing Fox News' own lawyers who say that they aren't journalists, but rather "entertainers".

Maybe also make a point of refusing to work with an organization that was found liable for defaming voting machine manufacturers and poll workers during the last election.

There are endless valid reasons for saying no to this debate, and holding Trump to the original debate schedule he already agreed to.

In what sense has he agreed something if no one else involved knows about it? I think the right verb here is 'suggests'.

I agree to NYT giving me 85% of their revenue forever. I agree to that.

Trump when Biden is running: "Any time, any place"

Trump when Harris is running: "One specific time, one specific place"

Harris is going to wipe the floor with this guy.

I agree to receive $150,000 from the Trump campaign.

This was the obvious move - attempt to change the venue to Fox, Newsmax or worse. I'm surprised Tucker isn't a proposed moderator.

Harris should counter with a live fact check requirement regardless of venue, which Trump and Fox could never accept.

According to Mr. Trump’s post on his social media site, the debate is to take place at a to-be-determined location in Pennsylvania, the must-win battleground state that could help decide the election. Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate.

It was unclear early Saturday if Ms. Harris had agreed to the debate and its terms. Representatives for her campaign did not respond to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for Fox News also did not respond to questions.

I think it's worth waiting to see if Harris has actually agreed to this, in the extremely unlikely chance that Trump lied about a thing.

Also, pretty funny that even if that's the case, Trump still needs a month to prepare and it has to be in his safe space network.

only if harris somehow sneaks a bullhorn/megaphone onto the stage so she can still make sure those fuckers hear her when her mic "malfunctions".

fox deserves no respect.

You know how fascists are always projecting; the way he treats normal news agencies tells us all we need to know - it's exactly how we SHOULD be treating his pet agencies.

Yes, the network that had to pay nearly a billion dollars for pushing a false narrative in order to get Trump elected the last time around is the perfect venue. Oh, and a live Fox News audience? What could be bad about that?

What a joke.

Yeah... agrees with HIMSELF lmao

I sincerely hope Harris never meets to debate Trump at Fox. Fox will just ambush Harris and edit the footage to make Harris look dumb or insincere. The whole exercise will be pointless because Americans will not get a fair representation of both candidates.

The title is the original title that NYT published. They updated it after backlash (rightfully so). Please don't report this post again.

I don't see why she should accept to be on fox.

It's not an agreement if one party doesn't know about it.

OP, you should edit the post to reflect the headline change.

Okay Trump, you're playing the cards you wish you had, rather than the ones in your hand. A clear sign of denial.

I cannot stand his voice; I always end up muting the TV and reading the closed captioning. Those poor people that have to do the live captioning though..

Fucking hell I'm actually excited. If you had asked me literally a month ago I wouldn't have given a shit and would have laughed if you had told me I'd be interested. Don't get me wrong I was going to vote either way, but man I cannot wait for Harris to slam the shit out of this dirt bag and make a national embarrassment of him. The shit that worked with Biden sure as hell isn't going to fly with Harris.

It’s definitely a risk for Harris but it’s the only place anyone watching only Fox will see her debate Trump. Not that it’ll change their minds of course, they’re so heavily brainwashed it’s insane.

Can't spell slaughter without laughter

How long until he throws a fit and stomps off like an angry toddler? I give him 25 minutes (not counting commercial breaks).

I see a need for a debate, we know where they stand. We really need to stop treating politics like sporting events.

The Fox News event is a week earlier than the originally scheduled ABC debate. Won't Harris look bad if she doesn't go?
