Kamala Harris' campaign claims Donald Trump is 'scared' to debate her

In an email with the subject line "Many People Are Saying: Donald Trump Is Scared to Debate Kamala Harris," the Harris campaign detailed that former President Trump and President Biden were initially scheduled for two debates—on June 27 and September 10—before the President chose to withdraw from the race.

Notably, Harris informed reporters on Friday, "I’ll tell you, I’m ready to debate Donald Trump. I have agreed to the previously agreed upon Sept 10 debate. He agreed to that previously."

"Now, here he is backpedaling, and I’m ready, and I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage, and so I’m ready to go," she added.

Additionally, the campaign's email stated that Trump is "now afraid of debating" Harris and mentioned Josh Shapiro (D), Governor of Pennsylvania, as a potential running mate for Harris.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has continued to criticize Biden and VP Harris. During his Florida Summit on Friday, Trump referred to Harris as a "bum" and made jabs at her.

Since Joe Biden stepped down from the presidential race and nominated VP Harris as his replacement, Trump has remained critical. He posted a series of critiques about the President on Truth Social from Sunday, July 21, through Monday, July 22.
