Her advisors believe she has nothing to gain with another debate, the last one led to a decline in polling. It’s within a few percentage points now, so they bailed. They’ve also resorted to SPLC-style fearmongering to scare up the black vote. They’ve been putting flyers under windshields outside black churches with photos of lynchings and rhyming Johnny Cochran-style political slogans.

People put a lot more stock in debates than they deserve, but politicians skip them at their peril. It’s a sign of weakness and Tillis will pounce if he has any sense at all. Blacks could care less about any of this, they will only turn out if a well organized effort puts money in their pockets and gets them to the polls, preferable more than once.
If I recall correctly, she skipped out on the debate six years ago also. It left a republican and a libertarian debating eachother.
She has courted two demographic votes. Single women and Hispanics.
