Her statement should make clear that she is only interested in debates hosted by news networks, citing Fox News’ own lawyers who say that they aren’t journalists, but rather “entertainers”.
Maybe also make a point of refusing to work with an organization that was found liable for defaming voting machine manufacturers and poll workers during the last election.
There are endless valid reasons for saying no to this debate, and holding Trump to the original debate schedule he already agreed to.
Fox Moderator: “Vice President Harris, how would you respond to the accusation that your administration was responsible for the supply-chain crisis, grocery price inflation, massive corporate layoffs, Texas power outages, the summer heat wave, and the border apocalypse?”
Harris: “What? Now wait…”
Fox Moderator: “President Trump. They say you have the best golf record of any president in history. How did you accomplish this historic feat?”
…
They’d probably just cut her off 2 words into her responses then play it off as she doesn’t have an answer
He’ll do a debate if it’s in his safe space. Snowflake.
I think this is bad news tbh. Harris can be as capable as she wants, but if the broadcaster doesnt stop Trump from a endless ramble or cut off his mic if he escalates to intolerable levels of behaviour, then this could end badly.
Don’t give Fox News respect. Start talking shit about it right now. Call this what it is, a scared old weird man who will only debate Harris on a “news” network currently paying billions for lying to everyone about the last election. Harris will treat Trump and the “journalists” playing moderators like children which is how we should’ve been treating them for years. Talking to them like adults validates their lies and bullshit.
Harris should call them out. “I said a debate on a news source, not some weird entertainment channel. Might as well have the weather channel moderate the debate!”
Hopefully it’s outside.
Underhanded. I like it.
Yes, the network that had to pay nearly a billion dollars for pushing a false narrative in order to get Trump elected the last time around is the perfect venue. Oh, and a live Fox News audience? What could be bad about that?
What a joke.
They’re probably hoping someone in the audience brings a gun.
What, do we need another Republican to shoot Trump’s other ear?
I was thinking Kamala. Never know with those idiots though. lol
Side note: Did you happen to see the close ups of Trump’s ear at the ABJ convention? Shit was on FULL DISPLAY and didn’t look shot at all. 🤔
Ask anyone who wears earrings, ears heal fast. (That said, I expect he only had a scratch.)
Not from a bullet wound, they don’t.
I still maintain that he got a scratch from a shard of the teleprompter at worst, and has been milking it for all it’s worth.
It was reported that it was a 2cm wound. That’s not insignificant.
Because it wasn’t. That blood was the spatter from an actual victim behind him. He has been pretending to have been shot, without any actual injury of any kind.
This is a weird way to say “Trump backs out of debating Harris on ABC”.
NYT are fools for using that headline. Their journalists, or editor, obscured the facts with that one. “Updated” headline (not joking):
Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead
In what sense has he agreed something if no one else involved knows about it? I think the right verb here is ‘suggests’.
He made a post saying that’s the “deal”. In a way it’s a brave way to try and get a venue change. Harris would have to basically insult Fox News and their entire viewership to avoid looking like she’s walking away.
Which (insulting fox and their viewers) she should do regardless, tbh
If she can go on Fox News and score a couple points against him it’ll go very well for her though; going into the proverbial lions den and coming out the other side
No (current) Harris voters are watching Fox News right now, she only stands to gain votes if she handles herself.
It won’t. There is nothing to gain in debating baby Donnie on Fox News.
Yeah putting this on Fox seems like a super risky move on the Trump campaign’s part, for not that much gain.
Brave isn’t the right word. Brazen is.
This was the obvious move - attempt to change the venue to Fox, Newsmax or worse. I’m surprised Tucker isn’t a proposed moderator.
Harris should counter with a live fact check requirement regardless of venue, which Trump and Fox could never accept.
Even with a live fact check requirement, would you trust Fox News to fact check? They’d probably use “alternative facts”.
Fox’s lie. Who’d ever believe their news?
I mean foxes do say a lot of things… https://youtu.be/jofNR_WkoCE?si=wmu99UDKpDg5OQk9
only if harris somehow sneaks a bullhorn/megaphone onto the stage so she can still make sure those fuckers hear her when her mic “malfunctions”.
fox deserves no respect.
You know how fascists are always projecting; the way he treats normal news agencies tells us all we need to know - it’s exactly how we SHOULD be treating his pet agencies.
According to Mr. Trump’s post on his social media site, the debate is to take place at a to-be-determined location in Pennsylvania, the must-win battleground state that could help decide the election. Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate.
It was unclear early Saturday if Ms. Harris had agreed to the debate and its terms. Representatives for her campaign did not respond to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for Fox News also did not respond to questions.
I think it’s worth waiting to see if Harris has actually agreed to this, in the extremely unlikely chance that Trump lied about a thing.
Also, pretty funny that even if that’s the case, Trump still needs a month to prepare and it has to be in his safe space network.
The Harris campaign on Saturday declined to commit to the Fox News debate and said it was still planning on a Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC.
“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept. 10,”
I think that’s pretty clear.
Pleassssseeeee stick to this Harris!! Man we can only hope.
I’m glad she called it exactly for what it was. Too bad Magoos will only see this as she wants her supposed safe space. :(
he is only ‘agreeing’ with the voice inside his head bouncing between the three brain cells. trying to play games and force harris into it.
i highly doubt harris would agree to those terms. nfw.
Can’t spell slaughter without laughter
I cannot stand his voice; I always end up muting the TV and reading the closed captioning. Those poor people that have to do the live captioning though…
When Trump was in office foreign translators got a ton of shit for doing thier job. So many non English speaking people thought the translators were drunk. That made more sense at the time than The President of the United States of America actually saying the things he said. There was also the time he got laughed at by the entire United Nations.
Imagine having to stand on that stage and smell that soiled old man. If he stank I would bring that up before answering every question
"I’m sorry can I get a fan up here? I need to be down wind of his diaper. "
UPWIND UPWIND!
upwind*
It’s definitely a risk for Harris but it’s the only place anyone watching only Fox will see her debate Trump. Not that it’ll change their minds of course, they’re so heavily brainwashed it’s insane.
Why it should never happen. Trump could go there, shit his pants, and call Harris all the words, and all republicans will lap it up like the mewling little weird cowards they are.
Buttigieg has been appearing on Fox News recently and he’s been doing a good job dismissing their dishonest narratives and avoiding their traps.
https://youtu.be/SXGpXWbVYSg?si=xBtDe8jWbMdXvmUF
But this isn’t Buttigieg, and this isn’t a one-on-one interview, so we can only hope if she agrees to this for some reason that she’s as prepared as he is.

…say, is it perhaps weird to make meetings with yourself?
Fucking hell I’m actually excited. If you had asked me literally a month ago I wouldn’t have given a shit and would have laughed if you had told me I’d be interested. Don’t get me wrong I was going to vote either way, but man I cannot wait for Harris to slam the shit out of this dirt bag and make a national embarrassment of him. The shit that worked with Biden sure as hell isn’t going to fly with Harris.
