J.D. Vance really, really, REALLY does NOT want to debate Kamala Harris
Donald Trump‘s campaign said yesterday that Vance will not debate Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the Democratic National Convention next month.In a statement, Brian Hughes, a senior adviser for the Trump campaign, said, “We don’t know who the Democrat nominee for Vice President is going to be, so we can’t lock in a date before their convention.
To do so would be unfair to Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, or whoever Kamala Harris picks as her running mate.”Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!In mid-May, Harris accepted an invitation from CBS News to debate Trump’s VP pick on either July 23 or August 13.
The Biden campaign said yesterday that CBS has since offered another potential date of August 12, which Harris has also accepted.The Trump campaign, however, hasn’t agreed to the CBS debate. (It did, however, agree to a vice presidential debate hosted by Fox News.)Kari Lake faced tough questions in an interview with British news reporter Emily Maitlis.In response to Vance chickening out of the CBS debate, Brian Fallon, Harris’ communications director, issued a strongly-worded statement calling out the 39-year-old gay-hating senator for being scared to face her.“Now suddenly right after a damning new leak showing his support for a nationwide abortion ban, Vance is backing off a debate against Vice President Harris, who has spent the last two years prosecuting the case on behalf of reproductive freedom,” Fallon said.“This debate has been discussed for two months now.
If JD Vance is unwilling to defend the Trump-Vance record on the debate stage, he should just say so.”In Vance’s defense, Harris is a former prosecutor who wiped the floor with Mike Pence when she debated him in 2020 and made Brett Kavanaugh cry during his senate confirmation hearing in 2018.
