‘Let’s go’: Harris agrees to debate Trump, accuses him of ‘backpedaling’ on Sept. 10 date
Harris, the vice president, said she has agreed to face off with Trump on Sept. 10. ABC News had been scheduled to hold a debate on that date with Trump and President Joe Biden, who withdrew from the race on Sunday.
“Now it appears he’s backpedaling,” Harris said of Trump on Thursday afternoon. “But I’m ready.”
Trump signaled in a press call earlier this week that he did not “like the idea” of participating in a debate hosted by ABC, which he called “fake news.”
But he said he “absolutely” would want to debate Harris if she becomes the Democratic nominee.
“I would be willing to do more than one debate, actually,” Trump said on the Tuesday afternoon call.

No, he's not obligated.
He could chicken out and show himself for the craven coward that he is.

“Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds,” Cheung said.
He just released a statement that he is not going to debate her.
The Trump campaign said Thursday it would not agree to a general election debate with Vice President Harris “until Democrats formally decide on their nominee” after Harris said she was ready to debate the former president.
“Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee,” Trump communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement.

Better terms? What was wrong with the way the last debate was handled? Jake Tapper and Dana Bash let Trump say whatever he wanted, didn't cut him off, didn't contradict him. Wat else does he want?
I guess he wants to go back to pacing the stage and looming behind Kamala Harris, like he did with Hillary, interrupt and cut her off, not let her speak, like he did to Biden in their debate. If he can't do that, he won't debate. He can't do a real debate against a real candidate about real issues.
