Former President Donald Trump announced that he would be participating in a “tele-town hall” with Fox News’s Sean Hannity after reports surfaced that Vice President Kamala Harris declined to take part in a debate scheduled for September 4th.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that Harris had “informed” him that she would “not do” the debate on Fox News. He further claimed that Harris knew it would be “very difficult” for her “to defend her record” of flip-flopping on various issues.
Cowardly Kamala backed out of the Fox News debate with Trump.
So much for "say it to my face."

“Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th,” Trump wrote. “I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border, our ‘Border Czar,’ where millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists have been allowed to pour into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted. It’s called, and she LOVES IT, an OPEN BORDER!!!. Rather than the debate on September 4th, I have agreed to do a Tele-Town Hall, anchored by Sean Hannity, for Fox. It will take place in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – Details to follow!”

The Harris campaign recently stated that the vice president had only committed to attending two events after Trump suggested three dates for their debates.
Trump and Harris have agreed to participate in a presidential debate on September 10, hosted by NBC News, along with a second debate scheduled for October.
The former president proposed three dates for the debates: September 4th on Fox News, September 10th on NBC News, and September 25th on ABC News.
Stephen A. Smith calls out Kamala Harris for not doing any interviews and says RFK Jr. should be on the debate stage:
