Donald Trump has expressed doubts about taking part in a debate with US Vice President Kamala Harris in the run-up to the upcoming election.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump questioned the necessity of debating Harris, stating, “Now I’m wondering why I need to participate in the debate, I’m leading in the polls. Everybody knows me, her: she wants open borders, a weak army, high taxes. I want a strong border, low taxes, and a strong anti-drug policy.” Trump emphasized his desire to debate while also considering his significant lead in public opinion polls.
Asked to respond to the challenge to face Harris directly, Trump characterized him as a “third-rate candidate.”
