Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are in a sprint to the General Election.
Harris looks like she has the wind at her back.
But Donald Trump has one secret weapon that will wreck Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris is ducking a debate
Donald Trump’s plan to regain the momentum in the Presidential Election revolves around a debate.
Democrats are terrified to let Kamala Harris talk off script, which is why she hasn’t sat for one interview or answered any off the cuff questions from reporters.
The hope on the Left is to keep Harris reading off a teleprompter so the American people can’t see Kamala Harris stumble through her word salads when she has to think and talk for herself.
But Donald Trump has challenged Kamala to debate three times – 9/4 on Fox News, 9/10 on NBC, and 9/25 on ABC.
Trump says his campaign has agreed to debate Kamala three times. 9/4 on Fox News, 9/10 on NBC, & 9/25 on ABC. Will Kamala agree to these three debates? Strong move by Trump here.

Of course, that would mean Harris will have to answer questions without a teleprompter in front of her.
Trump told the co-hosts of Fox & Friends that, in a debate, he would expose Harris as an incompetent the way he exposed Joe Biden as senile in their June 27 encounter.
“I think debates are very important and I think she’ll be exposed, just like [President Joe] Biden was exposed. Nobody knew Biden was that bad and then he was exposed during the debate and they tried to have a series of comebacks after that and they didn’t work out too well and they viciously overthrew him. I mean, he was overthrown using every trick in the book, they overthrew him,” Trump stated.
Trump explained his previous agreement for an ABC debate on September 10 with Joe Biden was no longer in effect because Joe Biden quit the race and that Harris would have to negotiate new debate terms.
Will Harris debate?
Trump said Harris was trying to weasel out of a debate by claiming Trump’s agreement with Biden extended to her.
“She doesn’t want to debate, look, she doesn’t want to debate. She wants to say I don’t want to debate, but I do want to debate,” Trump added.
Trump said he took every condition offered by the Biden campaign for the June 27 debate – including liberal moderators – because he thought it was important that he and Biden debate.
“You know, when it came to Biden, I accepted everything, I accepted Jake Tapper, I accepted everything because he didn’t want to debate after I accepted everything. The only thing I said, let’s stand up, they wanted to sit down and I said that’s not gonna look so great. But I accepted everything and pretty much that’s the way I do it right now because I want to debate her. I think it’s important for the country that we debate,” Trump added.
That’s why Trump initially offered Harris a single debate on Fox News.
Harris declined that debate, while falsely claiming Trump was the one who didn’t want to debate.
“So here’s the thing. Here’s the funny thing about that,” Harris ranted at a rally in Atlanta.
“So he won’t debate, but he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me . . . And by the way, don’t you find some of their stuff to just be plain weird? Well, Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage. Because as the saying goes, ‘If you got something to say, say it to my face!’” Harris shrieked.
Now the ball is in Harris’ court about when and where they’ll debate.
And how that plays out will decide the election.
