Hello folks. Today, let’s delve into some intriguing political developments that recently transpired.
Vice President Kamala Harris made the decision not to engage in a debate with former President Donald Trump on September 4. Instead, she requested the debate be rescheduled to September 10. What a turn of events, right?
The shift in date and platform is notable as some political insiders perceive the chosen platform to lean toward the Democrat party, while the initial choice has been known to have a somewhat strained relationship with Trump, particularly since Paul Ryan, the former Speaker of the House, joined their board of directors.
Michael Tyler, the Communications Director for Harris’s campaign, was quite expressive regarding the situation. He highlighted that Donald Trump, who initially agreed to the debate, seemed to be backing out and seeking support. Tyler encouraged Trump to cease the political maneuvering and remain committed to the September 10 debate.
Furthermore, Tyler mentioned that Vice President Harris would capitalize on the opportunity to address a prime-time national audience, under any circumstances. They are open to discussing future debates, but remain firm on adhering to the initial agreed date.
However, in a twist of events, Trump agreed to debate Harris on the earlier date. He also revealed that a scheduled debate with President Joe Biden had been canceled since Biden would no longer be participating. Trump indicated the debate would take place in Pennsylvania, with a full arena audience and following similar rules to his previous debate.
Harris is now refusing to debate Trump on Fox on September 4th and only willing to do a debate on September 10th with ABC.
Here’s a solution to this pathetic demand from Harris, how about you just do both debates.

Adding to the intrigue, President Biden and Trump had initially agreed to hold a debate on September 10. But with Biden’s withdrawal from the race, the event was cancelled, according to Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign communications director.
Cheung suggested it would be unwise to schedule things with Harris because Democrats could potentially reconsider their decision. Quite a tumultuous journey, isn’t it?
