“He can no longer rely on the juxtaposition of him and Biden.”

They’ve got a lot of questions to answer!!!

Why did Harris turn down Fox, NBC, CBS, and even CNN?

Donald J. Trump tweeted criticizing ABC News' interview with Tom Cotton, questioning debates, media bias, and suggesting further scrutiny from other networks

Stay tuned!!!"

Obviously, this was not agreed upon, but the Sept. 10 date with ABC wasconfirmed by both teams.

Whether you agree with their takes or not, here’s what they’re saying:

More important to him, better ratings."

By saying he wont appear next week, hes trying to swing the conversation back to the debate.

I say hell show up Sept. 10.

Harris already said she would regardless, and he will be branded as a coward if he doesnt.

This is a show to get attention in the press.”

“I think he will do the debate.

This is his warmup for the excuses and complaints of how unfair he will say ABC is to him.

Just more from his tired-ass playbook.”

“I don’t know if debates are worthwhile in the first place.

Nobody is going to change their mind based on a debate.”

But, “I suspect he’s gonna avoid debating Harris at all.

He knows she’s not going to take any shit or let him get away with bullshit.”

“He knows hes out of his depth.

This isnt Sleepy Joe, its the prosecutor.”

And he got outdone by the first standoff."

“‘You agreed to X, so we will be there.

Then we can talk about next.’

He should’ve come out swinging with the anytime, anywhere approach.

Saying he would wipe the floor with her.

That would’ve been much smarter.”
