Kamala Harris’s campaign criticized Donald Trump on Saturday, calling him “scared” after he proposed changing the presidential debate schedule. Using his Truth Social app, Trump expressed willingness to debate Harris on Fox News on September 4, instead of the previously agreed ABC debate.
He suggested the event occur in Pennsylvania, a pivotal swing state, in front of a live audience. This announcement came as he prepared for a rally in Atlanta, trying to counter Harris’s rising popularity. Harris had energized approximately 10,000 supporters at a rally in the same venue just days prior.
Trump’s move to switch networks is seen as an attempt to regain control of a campaign narrative that has shifted dramatically since Joe Biden withdrew from the race on July 21. Harris has since revitalized Democratic support, drawing significant donations and securing the Democratic nomination with overwhelming party support.
Trump plans to appear with his vice-presidential choice, Senator J.D. Vance, in Georgia, another key state, as Harris prepares to announce her vice-presidential pick and begin a national tour. Her recent activities and rally size in Georgia underscore her growing influence, contrasting sharply with Trump’s campaign dynamics.
