Harris campaign trolls ‘Duckin Don’ as he still won’t commit to debate her
Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign gave Donald Trump a new nickname after the former president, once again, refused to commit to debating her: “Duckin’ Don”.
On Monday evening,Trump told Fox News that he would “probably” end up debating Harris but said he could also “make the case for not doing it” – a slightly different approach to participating in the customary televised event than the one he had with President Joe Biden.
While Trump challenged Biden to debate “any time, any place”, he has taken a softer approach with Harris saying he is willing to debate her because it is the responsibility of a candidate. But he has also expressed apprehension about debating her on ABC and before she is the official Democratic nominee.
After his Fox News appearance, the Harris campaign sent out a press release taunting “Duckin’ Don” with accusations of being “scared”.
“Why won’t Donald Trump give a straight answer on debating Vice President Harris?” Harris campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said.
“It’s clear from tonight’s question-dodging: he’s scared he’ll have to defend his running mate’s weird attack on women, or his own calls to end elections in America in a debate against the vice president,” Moussa added.
The press release is the latest prod at Trump regarding the debate.
Last week, Harris trolled the former president on X, mocking him for agreeing to debate Biden but not her after it was reported Trump was backing out of the debates.
The former president has said he wants to debate Harris and believes it is the right thing to do as the Republican candidate, but he has stopped short of outrightly declaring he will debate the vice president on September 10th.
