Is Trump obligated to the Biden debates now that the Dems started a new campaign

a reply to: Dandandat3

The power shift began in 2016, when then-candidates Trump and Hillary Clinton went head to head. Their first match-up was the most-watched debate in the event’s history, drawing 84 million viewers.

But Trump denounced the debates as “biased” and suggested he might skip them in the future.

This election cycle threatened to be a repeat: Trump and Biden are expected to be their party’s respective nominees once more, and last November, the commission released its usual schedule of debate dates.

But then the campaigns started to push for more control. Trump’s team, in particular, called the commission’s timeline “unacceptable”. It argued that the debates should happen before the early voting period begins in September.

“The Presidential Debate Commission’s schedule does not begin until after millions of Americans will have already cast their ballots,” Trump’s campaign said in a statement.

It also warned, “We are committed to making this happen with or without the Presidential Debate Commission.”

Biden was too nice to give into the Trump Campaigns whiney whims in the first place. And now, here we are. Trump continues to throw toddler level temper tantrums, whining about whatever.

President Trump backed out of the debate on ABC after a judge said his defamation suit against ABC NEWS will not be thrown out as ABC requested. The suit will go forward. Trump attorneys said it would be a "conflict of interest", to debate there now.

But our U.S. media enemies (90% of U.S. news media are enemies of the people) are portraying candidate Trump as a chicken who is afraid of ABC and Kamala. Trump has accepted a Sept 4th invite to debate with FoxNews moderators.

WHO NEEDS THE DEBATE MORE? Harris or Trump??
