Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz ducked away on Thursday from multiple presidential and vice presidential debates offered by former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).
“The debate about debates is over,” the Harris campaign claimed. “Donald Trump’s campaign accepted our proposal for three debates – two presidential and a vice presidential debate. Assuming Donald Trump actually shows up on September 10 to debate Vice President Harris, then Governor Walz will see JD Vance on October 1 and the American people will have another opportunity to see the vice president and Donald Trump on the debate stage in October.”
However, the statement from the Harris campaign was wildly misleading.
The Trump campaign accepted three presidential debates — Fox News on September 4, ABC News on September 10, and NBC News on September 25.
The Trump campaign also accepted two vice presidential debates, CBS News on October 1 and CNN on September 18.
The Harris campaign, which has held no press conferences or interviews since Harris announced her candidacy a month ago, only agreed to three total debates, two presidential and one vice presidential.

The dates are also key as Harris and Walz appear to be looking to delay debating for as long as possible since early voting begins in multiple states in September.
Trump and Vance are looking for the debates to be earlier so they can highlight the far-Left positions held by Harris and Walz before voters start mailing in ballots.
The Trump campaign responded to the Harris campaign’s statement by saying that it was obvious which campaign was afraid to debate.
“President Trump challenged Kamala to three debates. She only accepted two,” the campaign said. “J.D. Vance challenged Freakish Timothy Walz to two debates. He only accepted one. Just so everyone is aware which campaign in this race is ‘too afraid’ to debate.”
