OPINION| In a fiery response to Kamala Harris’ refusal to debate him on September 4, former President Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to lash out at the Vice President.
“Kamala Harris doesn’t have the mental capacity to do a REAL Debate against me, scheduled for September 4th in Pennsylvania,” Trump wrote. “She’s afraid to do it because there is no way she can justify her radical left policies that are destroying our country.”
Trump’s comments come after Harris announced that she would not be participating in the debate, citing her commitment to a previously scheduled debate on ABC News on September 10.
“I’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at all,” Trump added, doubling down on his challenge to Harris.
Trump took to Truth Social to clarify his position and announce the details of the upcoming event:
“I have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC but has been terminated as Biden will no longer be participating. I am also in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, creating a conflict of interest. The Fox News debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at a site yet to be determined. Moderators will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the rules will mirror those from my previous debate with Sleepy Joe — BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!”
Donald Trump was pretty specific in accepting ABC’s debate invitation
He agreed to debate Joe Biden
Joe backed out when he quit the race.
Therefore, unless Joe plans on showing up on September 10th, there is no agreement

The exchange between the two political figures has sparked a heated debate among their supporters, with Trump’s base rallying behind him and accusing Harris of being “too afraid” to face off against the former president.
“President Trump is absolutely right,” said one Trump supporter. “Kamala Harris is afraid to debate him because she knows she can’t defend her radical left agenda. She’s a coward.”
Harris’ supporters, on the other hand, have dismissed Trump’s comments as baseless attacks and have accused him of trying to avoid a debate with the Vice President.
“Donald Trump is the one who’s afraid to debate Kamala Harris,” said one Harris supporter. “He knows that she’s intelligent, articulate, and capable of exposing his lies and failures as president.”
The debate over the debate has also highlighted the stark differences between the two candidates and their visions for the country. Trump has positioned himself as a champion of conservative values and has vowed to “Make America Great Again,” while Harris has campaigned on a platform of progressive policies and has promised to “Build Back Better.”
“The American people deserve a real debate between these two candidates,” said one political analyst. “They have very different ideas about the future of our country, and voters need to hear them out.”
Trump took to Truth Social to respond to Kamala’s hesitation:
“Kamala Harris doesn’t have the mental capacity to do a REAL Debate against me, scheduled for September 4th in Pennsylvania. She’s afraid because there is no way she can justify her corrupt and open borders policy, the environmental destruction of our country, the Afghanistan embarrassment, runaway inflation, terrible economy, high interest rates and taxes, and her years-long fight against saying ‘Merry Christmas.’ I’ll see her on September 4th or I won’t see her at all. She is acknowledged as the Worst Vice President in History, which complements the Worst President, Crooked Joe Biden. Together these two low-IQ individuals have destroyed our country, but we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
As the debate over the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and both candidates are gearing up for what promises to be a contentious and high-profile showdown.
“This is going to be a battle for the ages,” said one political strategist. “Both Trump and Harris are fierce competitors, and they’re not going to back down from a fight. The American people are in for a wild ride.”
KAMALA — UNSCRIPTED FOR THE FIRST TIME:
“This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy.”

In the end, the decision to participate in the debate or not will ultimately fall on Harris. Will she rise to the challenge and face off against Trump, or will she choose to stick to her previously scheduled debate on ABC News? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the nation will be watching.
