Well, it turns out that Donald Trump, a former truth-teller, multiple-indicted ex-POTUS, and convicted felon, agreed to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, September 10 on ABC after all, and now, we’re getting some major points. The debate will take place in Philadelphia, at the National Constitution Center, starting at nine p. m. ET (with a special pre-debate at 8 p. m. ET). David Muir and Linsey Davis will serve as moderators, with the individual broadcast on ABC, ABC News Live, Disney and Hulu. A moment of debate between the Two have also been shown, no explicit main points have been published. Vice presidential candidates Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Senator J. D. Vance, will be presented for debate on October 1.
A quick lesson in the history of debate to get everyone up to speed. Last May, Trump and the Democratic candidate of POTUS and President Joseph Biden agreed on two dates for the debate, before one of them was more than their party’s respective candidates: June 27 on CNN and September 10 on ABC. President Biden has since resigned as the Democratic nominee to POTUS, and Vice President Harris already had enough publicly engaged delegates to secure his spot at the party’s conference later this month. Once that happened, Trump’s setbacks and shifts accelerated.
First, Trump and his ilk used the old excuse that “she’s not the party’s official nominee” to block the debate on ABC: that President Biden wasn’t either when the debate dates were originally announced. After this, they claimed that Trump may simply not be. Going to ABC because there would be a “conflict of interest” as Trump is in dispute with the network over comments made through This Week’s George Stephanopoulos. The big challenge with that? The complaint was filed two months before the dates of the debate were agreed. Why was there no “conflict” then?
As Trump and President Biden were finalizing the details, FOX News and MSNBC were removed from the table as hosts; The guideline was that only one network that had hosted a Republican No. 1 debate in 2016 and a No. 1 Democratic debate in 2020 was eligible. And we all know by now that the studio’s audience was going to be a line in the sand, and that’s also all Trump agreed to (apparently, in exchange for Trump not being verified in real time).
Did you do that? Thanks for sharing on social media!
