Trump offers three debates with Harris, says he will beat ‘barely competent’ substitute for Biden
< < Go Back
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday proposed three debates next month with Vice President Kamala Harris and said he would defeat the “barely competent” Democratic nominee who took over the ticket for President Biden.
Mr. Trump said Ms. Harris did not receive any votes in the 2020 Democratic primary and predicted that he remains on track for victory despite polls showing a tight race heading into November.
“We were given Joe Biden, and now we’re given somebody else,” Mr. Trump said at a news conference from his Florida estate at Mar-a-Lago.
Mr. Trump is trying to blunt Ms. Harris’ momentum and prove that he, unlike his Democratic opponent, is willing to face the media.
The former president said he is ready to debate Ms. Harris on Fox News, ABC and NBC on Sept. 4, 10 and 25 and is waiting for her to agree to terms. ABC News said both candidates have agreed to the original presidential debate set for Sept. 10.
“I think it’s very important to have debates,” Mr. Trump said. “She hasn’t done an interview. She can’t do an interview. She’s barely competent.”
