    Where was this energy when Kamala was acting like she didn’t want to do any debates at all? Smh

    I’m not saying Trump isn’t cowardly for this, because he is. But anyone clowning on Kamala for not wanting to debate but not Trump doesn’t actually have a problem with debate dodging.

    Edit: My b, I misrepresented her position at the time. She didn’t want to do two of the three proposed debates at the time but accepted ABC News’ invitation

      Maybe I missed that bit of the news cycle but when was Kamala acting like she didn’t want a debate? I remember her being hesitant about the rules Trump was demanding at first, but that’s about it.

          Read the first paragraph of the article. He was trying to dodge the ABC debate and instead have it on Fox. Obviously Kamala would not want to have the debate run by a company heavily biased towards her opponent.

            So now you see why Trump didn’t want to do the ABC debate

                A couple of them I didn’t like, the big one being where David Muir debated Trump about the 2020 election cases and Trump actually ended up fact checking David on that, he had no rebuttal (although Trump doesn’t seem to understand exactly what it means to “have standing”).

                But it’s less about the fact checks and more about the fact that they chose to only fact check one person’s lies. Kamala Harris lied through her teeth during the debate and nobody fact checked her. I personally would prefer to not have fact checks in these debates at all, as the debates are only supposed to be between two people. But if there are going to be fact checks, those should be applied to both candidates.
