In a political twist that could only be scripted by Hollywood, Donald Trump’s campaign has confirmed a presidential debate with Kamala Harris on September 10—an event eagerly anticipated by conservatives and political aficionados alike. While this agreement might have everyone buzzing, the dynamic duo of Trump and Harris isn’t exactly what one might call a ‘match made in debate heaven.’
Originally, it was Trump who seemed raring to go, agreeing to debates with not just ABC News but also the stalwarts at Fox News and NBC News. However, in a move that could only be described as classic Harris, her team attempted to pull the famous ‘I’ve changed my mind’ maneuver. So far, only the ABC debate is on the books. The notion of declining other platforms hints at a distinct lack of confidence from the Harris camp, raising eyebrows and prompting laughter across the conservative blogosphere.
According to Brian Fallon, Harris’s communications director, the debate rules remain murky. This vagueness opens the door to Harris trying to back out once again, leaving the impression that the only thing Harris wants to debate are the numerous options for her exit strategy. Fallon suggested that Harris’s team might insist on muted mics to keep Trump quiet—a sign of their reluctance to let her engage in a real, unfiltered exchange of ideas. It’s almost as if they think viewers won’t be able to handle the raw, unrefined brilliance that is Trump’s unadulterated rhetoric.
Critics have been quick to slam the Harris campaign for their apparent cowardice. The idea that they would negotiate the terms of engagement like nervous teenagers before prom is not just amusing; it’s downright pitiful. Conservatives are having a field day with this, as many argue that if Harris genuinely stood behind her platform, she wouldn’t be running from a debate. Instead, she looks like she’s trying to pull a fast one on the American public by hiding behind a wall of silence.

As the debate day approaches, one thing becomes abundantly clear: if Harris truly wants to remain in the political ring, she needs to grow a spine and stop trying to dictate the terms. After all, Trump has already agreed to meet her on the battlefield of ideas—instead of relying on tactical retreats and microphone muting. For a campaign that claims to be about transparency, Harris sure is acting like someone trying to dodge responsibility at every turn. The stage is set for a showdown. Let’s see if Harris can muster the courage to actually show up.
