Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday accepted an invitation from CNN to debate former President Donald Trump on October 23, challenging her rival to another engagement on a public stage in the final weeks of the campaign.
I really hope she shows up whether he does or not.
I saw someone describe this as Trump’s Kobayashi Maru - if he goes, he’ll get destroyed again, but if he doesn’t go, he’ll look like he’s afraid of her.
I don’t think that he’s likely to do any more debates. The last one definitely hurt him in the polls, and he’s been publicly making arguments as to why he shouldn’t need to do any more.
If I were gonna guess, the only way that we’re going to see another debate with Trump is if he somehow falls so far behind prior to the election that his campaign thinks that a win is very unlikely and is willing to try for any Hail Mary tactic that might give Trump a shot at getting his hand back in.
his best play is not to go and hope that kamala dies a town hall by herself and gets hit on hard questions about Palestine, inflation, etc. I was shocked he agreed to do the first debate, should have just quit after his “win” against Biden.

If he doesn’t turn up I really hope at the end of the ‘debate’ she looks straight down the lens of the camera, points and says “Convict Trump… Pussy!”
I love how on Lemmy you can be pretty sure this reference needs no explanation. We’re all nerds and I love it.
It’s the Star Trek training sim test where there’s no way to actually win.
That is correct.
I just misread the comment I was replying to, as usual.
I’ve been about 10 levels deep into an argument with someone before I realise that I just misread what they originally said.
