Trump campaign won’t commit to VP debate, citing uncertainty over Democratic ticket

MILWAUKEE — The Trump campaign on Wednesday said it would not commit to a date for a vice presidential debate, suggesting it was still uncertain who would be on the Democratic ticket.

“We don’t know who the Democrat nominee for Vice President is going to be, so we can’t lock in a date before their convention,” senior Trump campaign adviser Brian Hughes said in a statement. “To do so would be unfair to Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, or whoever Kamala Harris picks as her running mate.”

…. the Trump campaign is seizing on the hand-wringing among Democrats about whether President Biden should step aside as the nominee, to punt on a potential debate this summer.

Dumb. I’d commit. It’s harder for them to switch things up if everything is already scheduled.

Shapiro is out since the assassination on his home turf failed.

Smart. Keep your powder dry. No screen time for Kamala.

They are just saying that for comedic effect. Sure they are completely confident that Vance would beat Harris.

That’s great. But the VP debate should be moderated by Tucker Carlson or Joe Rogan.

Its true why should they commit to a debate until they are sure that Kamala is the VP, so this is a good move

Right but if the VP debates are scheduled/have taken place it will be a whole lot harder to replace the ticket.

“But the VP debate should be moderated by Tucker Carlson or Joe Rogan.”

Exactly!

I am so sick of these debates being “moderated” by people from NBC or NPR, etc.

I’m just as sick as our side agreeing to the “moderators”.

It’s high time we had someone like Dennis Prager, etc moderate these debates!
