Kamala Harris Taunts Trump For Backing Out Of Debates
Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee for President Kamala Harris taunted former President Donald Trump after his campaign backed out of agreed-to debates citing “chaos” in the nominating process.
Presidential debates have been key in this campaign, to say the least. After President Joe Biden’s debate performance touched off calls for him to drop out, the president announced he would no longer be seeking a second term — and minutes later threw his support behind his veep.
Biden’s performance overshadowed the fact that Trump rattled off as many as 50 falsehoods at a debate in which CNN decided not to have moderators fact-check the candidates.
Prior to that debate, the campaigns had agreed to two more debates — one presidential and one VP debate.
On Wednesday night, in a statement emailed to Mediaite, the Trump campaign backed out of any debates, citing a variety of impediments that
Trump Campaign Statement on General Election Debates
“Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee.

The crack is a reference to a claim Trump made at rallies like his April speech in Wisconsin:
I am calling on Crooked Joe to debate ANY TIME, ANY PLACE… so that we can discuss, in a friendly manner, the real problems of our country, of which there are many, instead of trying to have corrupt prosecutors fight your battles for you.
At least one obstacle was removed Thursday morning when former President Barack Obama endorsed the VP.
