The former president slammed ABC for hosting his debate against Kamala Harris. “Why should I debate on this channel?”, he said two weeks before the much-anticipated televised fight.
Trump-Harris fight in question? Donald Trump has expressed doubts about participating in the debate against his Democratic opponent scheduled for September 10 on the ABC television channel.
Posted in a weird post In his true social network This Monday, August 26, the Republican candidate slammed the media, accusing him of spreading “fake news.” The subject of the former president’s ire was Republican Senator Tom Cotton’s “ridiculous and biased” interview with journalist Jonathan Carlin this Monday.
“Why should I debate Kamala Harris on this channel?” he asks, seemingly opening the door for the debate to be cancelled.
“Wait”
Donald Trump also noted that ABC’s management, “Kamala’s best friend,” could provide questions to candidates for the Democratic Party, as he asked CNN political consultant Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The billionaire hit out at the channel’s journalist George Slopatopolous, with whom he has been feuding. “Where’s Little’ George Slopatopolous Now?” he asks. However, ABC has announced that the two moderators of the debate will be journalists David Muir and Lynsey Davis.
“They have a lot of questions to answer!!! Why did Harris turn down Fox, NBC, CBS and CNN? Wait!!!”, concluded Donald Trump.
Donald Trump’s statements come as the two campaign teams negotiate the terms under which the two candidates will debate. According to US media PoliticsThe question of microphones divides the two camps. During a debate with Joe Biden on CNN, Donald Trump’s team wanted the debater’s microphone to be formally cut off. But the Kamala Harris team prefers a less controlled debate where both microphones are constantly on.
