The headline is a bit misleading. Trump agreed to the ABC debate if Harris agrees to the Fox debate.
This is just a ploy for him to either get Harris to show up on Fox, or if she doesn't debate him on Fox, spin it in such a way that Harris is somehow not wanting to debate him (Even though she never agreed to a Fox debate)
The narrative is already being set that he agreed to the ABC debate. So, regardless of conditions, what will be remembered is that he said he would be there, and then wasn't. I don't think there's a way he could safely back out of ABC at this point, regardless of what Kamala does.
I look forward to Kamala having a full prime time slot to herself
You say that as if people on either side expect him to be consistent and rational. His supporters don't care what he does as long as it upsets Democrats and Democrats already know he's a liar.
He's already agreed to it and backed out once.
No, he formally accepted the ABC debate on September 10. He invited Harris to a Fox News debate on September 4 and an NBC debate on September 25. Harris declined the Fox News debate and has neither accepted nor declined the NBC debate.
Looking at this article, his formal acceptance is conditional. I suspect conditional on Harris doing fox.
He 100% intends to do the Fox debate then weasel out before facing her in a real debate, which is why he is making the ABC debate conditional on doing Fox first.
Confirmation from her campaign or a source on the non-ABC stuff?
And he wants the Fox debate to be first. He FULLY intends to back out after they give him the special treatment, which is why Harris won't do Fox first.
Loudly, from the roof tops, "I accept your debate at ABC" Make him decline again.
He's such an idiot. He won't show up, and we're all going to get to call him a coward for it. I can't wait.
