Trump backs out of ABC debate, says he’ll only debate Harris with Fox moderators in a packed arena pic.twitter.com/XWDp8soXBC

Saying he’s confident enough to debate Biden on ABC but only confident enough to debate Kamala on Fox, in a big full MAGA arena set up to be as close as possible to one of his own rallies, is humiliating, and should be treated as such

I thought Republicans hated safe spaces.

I hope Harris doesn't agree to the Fox debate, it's an obvious trap, Trump agreed on the ABC debate back in May which was after he decided to sue Stephanopoulos in March. Now suddenly because Harris is the nominee instead of Biden he is backing out (not because of a "conflict of interests") and he wants to hold a debate in a crowd of his supporters, essentially a MAGA rally, with biased Fox moderators throwing him softball questions (same Fox who was successfully sued for their election stealing claims), the braindead crowd will just boo over anything Kamala says.

Nobody will watch Fox News anyway aside from Republican diehards.

I wouldn't mind a "Why not both?" response (with certain stipulations to make sure the Fox debate is relatively even ground). More debates seem like it would be a boon for Harris as long as she can maintain a bit of control of the Fox debate.

Her 2nd stop after she begins her rallies with her VP is in Detroit, Michigan which is right near Dearborn which has the largest Muslim population in the United States per capita and the largest mosque in North America...It'll be interesting to see how she handles this because there's a chance she could have a large amount of protesters.

Yeah, any upside Shapiro has in PA is basically negated by the downside he has in MI, imo

They really have to be sure they don't need Shapiro for PA in this case though...If they don't need Shapiro to take PA then it's probably better to get someone who can shore up support elsewhere and leave Shapiro to focus 100% on shilling for Harris in Pennsylvania but they have to be really certain that they can win PA without Shapiro. Is there a scenario where Shapiro remaining as Governor, focused exclusively on PA, is better for Harris than taking him on as VP and having him spread across the whole country?
