The specter of having to face Harris in a debate has again thrown Trump into a panic. For the second time this month the former president has tried to search for a way to back out of the debate while making it look like he's not a coward. He wasn't able to fool anyone — not even his supporters — the last time, and it won't work this time. He's going to have to show up and face the VP on September 10.
This attempt to change the agreed-upon rules for the next debate show Harris is the one who's afraid to get on the debate stage. She saw how Trump trounced Biden in June — so bad the president was pushed off the ticket — and now Harris is trying to dodge the debate and pin Trump with the blame. Harris should debate by the rules or admit she's scared.
There's a 55% chance that Harris will be elected US president in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
