Republican vice presidential pick JD Vance said Saturday that former President Trump is smart to agree to a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News.
Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, on Saturday called former President Trump’s offer to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News in September a «masterstroke.»
«I think it’s great», Trump’s vice presidential pick told SiriusXM’s «Breitbart News Saturday.» «In some ways, it’s a masterstroke because, of course, the Kamala campaign has been saying for a long time that President Trump is afraid to debate Kamala Harris, which, of course, is absurd because the last time he debated their nominee, that nominee withdrew two weeks later.»
President Biden pulled out of the race and endorsed Harris as the nominee last month after his weak debate performance in late June drew concerns from Democrats.
Late Friday night, Trump wrote on Truth Social, «I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.
«The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined.
