Recently, Donald Trump has shown reluctance to debate Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning the purpose of the occasion and said he "probably" will participate but "can also make a case for not doing it."

During a Monday night interview with Fox News Channel, Trump was asked several times about his position on taking on Harris in a debate. He has previously shown a strong desire to challenge President Joe Biden, raising concerns about Biden's mental preparedness for both the debate and the office. But after Biden pulled out of the contest and Harris won the Democratic nomination for president, Trump started to reevaluate the parameters of the initial debate agreement.
Dismissing ABC News as "fake news," Trump proposed switching the September 10 debate from ABC News to another network. He stated to reporters last week that he would "absolutely" debate Harris, citing a need to do so.
Laura Ingraham, the host of Fox News, questioned Trump on his willingness to participate in a debate. In response, Trump said, "Let's have a debate." However, I can also say this. Everyone is aware of who I am. People are now aware of her identity." "The answer is yes, I'll probably end up debating," he finally said, but he also said, "I can also make a case for not doing it."
Trump has a history of skipping debates, including all the 2024 Republican presidential primary debates. He initially cited the timing and venue as issues before ultimately deciding not to participate.
In the same interview, Trump made waves last week when he said to Christians at a conservative gathering that they "won't have to vote anymore" if he is elected. He then attempted to walk back those remarks. He urged Christians to cast their ballots "just this once," promising that they wouldn't have to do so again for four years. You won't have to cast a ballot since we'll have it fixed so well.
Democrats and others expressed anxiety about these comments, citing Trump's authoritarian past and his inability to accept the results of the 2020 election. When Ingraham pushed Trump to clarify his remarks, he said, "I'm explaining to 'em why they don't vote." "You never cast a ballot." Cast your ballot now. I'll set the nation right. Voting is going to be eliminated. I'll be OK without your vote.
