Harris Refuses to Comment on All Three of Trump's Debate Challenges

2024-08-10

Vice President Kamala Harris

It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day
refused to answer on Thursday whether she accepted former President Donald Trump's
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
challenge to debate three separate times.

Trump offered on Thursday to debate Harris on September 4 on Fox News, September 10 on NBC News, and September 25 on ABC News.

Harris agreed to debate on September 10 on NBC News but refused to comment on whether she would participate in the other two.

"I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump and we have a date of September 10. I hear he's finally committed to it and I'm looking forward to it," she said Thursday in Wayne, Michigan.

Kamala also refused to directly address the allegations against her running mate, Gov. Mike Walz, of stolen valor. "I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve their country. And I think that we all should."

Throughout the week, Republicans widely mocked Harris for failing to hold unscripted media events.

"Excuse me, what are we doing right now?" Trump questioned during a Thursday presser at Mar-a-Lago. "She's not doing any news conference — She doesn't know how to do a news conference. She's not smart enough to do a news conference."

Trump's comments might have irritated Harris and encouraged her to schedule an interview before the end of the month, she said Thursday after speaking with her team. It is unclear if the interview will take place in the last three weeks of August or whether the interview's scheduling will take place before August ends.

I've talked to my team. I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month, she said when asked when she would sit down for her first interview since entering the presidential race.

Harris failed to give one unscripted presser since joining the presidential race 18 days ago. A longtime Harris ally told Politico's West Wing Playbook on Wednesday that she may continue to avoid the press until Labor Day, 25 days away.

Harris might not be partial to unscripted events for two reasons. First, she has a habit of delivering silly word salads. Second, she appears to be trying navigate policy debates within her own party. Anonymous campaign aides reportedly flipped flopped on five of her radical-left policies.
