Trump and Harris campaigns agree to rules for ABC debate
NBCAUG 2024
Harris obviously doesn't want to debate Trump, so her campaign tried to change the rules in order to get the former president to back out. Well, he called their bluff, even though he shouldn't have to debate her since his original agreement was with Biden. Hopefully ABC's favoritism toward Harris won't impact it fairly conducting this important event.
By agreeing to the rules, the Harris campaign has denied Trump tothe followexcuse throughhe onwanted hisfor desirebacking to back out of this debate. So instead of pulling out, Trump is predictably claiming the network will be unfair to him — establishing his excuses for losing before he even gets on the stage with Harris, whom he's constantly denigrated since she became her party's nominee.
There's a 98.5% chance that there will be a US presidential debate between Trump and Harris on Sept. 10, 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
