Kamala Harris held rallies Thursday in North Carolina, first in Charlotte and then in Greensboro, calling for another round of debate with Donald Trump, two days after her strong showing in Philadelphia against the former president.
“I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate,” she said to applause, “because this election and what is at stake could not be more important. On Tuesday night, I talked about issues that I know matter to families across America, like bringing down the cost of living … but that’s not what we heard from Donald Trump.”
Holding rallies in two of North Carolina’s largest cities highlights the importance of the state as a national battleground that the campaign now sees as winnable.
In Charlotte, Harris laughed and mocked Trump’s answer during the debate when he was asked about his plan to replace Obamacare. “He has no plan to replace it. He said ‘concepts of a plan’ – no actual plan. Concepts. And understand what’s at stake with that: 45 million Americans are insured under the Affordable Care Act, and he’s going to end it based on a concept.”...

Another flip-flop by Harris. She goes from barely one debate, to now wanting more debates. Right, tell us another one. Don’t need a debate, if she would answer questions from all of the press, instead of canned interviews and teleprompter rallies.
The point is you don’t have to debate in a rigged environment unless you get something in return.
When was the last time a Democratic candidate faced what Trump faced this week with all the fact checking.
When’s the last time a Republican campaign was spied on?
When’s the last time a Republican was accused of being a Russian asset?
When’s the last time a Republican was hoax impeached?
You have to get this through your skull.
Nothing has been fair regarding Trump since 2015 when your govt declared war on him..
“There should have been none. There should be none. Independents decide all this and they, in the battlegrounds, are leaning Trump, hard.”
If they were leaning hard for Trump, polls would show Trump leading in the battleground states by a wide margin. Well outside the margin of error.
With the polls showing Harris in a slight lead, that indicates that at least a plurity of independents are leaning toward her.
You got it there is talk of him
She had her chance to articulate a plan, and she failed. No do overs.
Why? That either side would either agree to most of the terms set or continue to participate when they are broken is idiocy. These are not even debates. I have participated in true debates in high screwl, what we have seen is a joke and a crude one at that. Even a beauty padgent has better security and integrity than these nationally televised fluster cucks.
A hard lean is about 5% and that’s what is in the new turnout models. I check these often and that’s how it read.
A 45% electorate number leaning 5% moves the needle only 2%, which is enough, but it won’t be a huge lead that generates splashed headlines.
You have to understand turnout models or you won’t understand polling. In January, before the games got going, Forbes did a party affiliation survey nationally. This is an easy google to find. It showed D/R/I of 27/27/45. This was a shock. It’s a 10+ point jump in Independents.
The majority of turnout models are using Census data for party affiliation. Some will dabble in state registration, but WI and MI do not register by state.
There has been a sea change in the electorate and it is away from D/R. These Independents are all about the Swamp and this is the source of begging for more debates.
They are the Swamp. Trump isn’t.
I’m fully aware of all that, I’m talking about one issue which is debates and what would be best for not only Trump but every Republican who comes after him, one Republican after another gets caught up in a debate where Democrats set the agenda I’m talking about trying to change that
All these fake crowds must be costing Soros a pretty penny and are a huge risk of being discovered. Their basement dwellers aren’t going to show up for meager $ much longer.
“When was the last time a Democratic candidate faced what Trump faced this week with all the fact checking.”
The last time? As far as I know, it has never happened.
Hopefully Trump is the final Republican who will ever do a ridiculous so-called presidential debate with a moderator. If so, I will consider it part of draining the swamp.
Who will be the moderator for the Vance Walz “debate”.? He is the best I have ever seen at taking an attack question, addressing it quickly, then pivoting to saying something that he would like the public to hear. He is brilliant and fearless and well prepared with verifiable facts, not just generalities which are not persuasive. It will be very hard to sabotage him like ABC did with Trump though they will try.
On X this morning there were photos tken outside the venue where dopey kamala was speaking. Lines of busses letting people off. Who knows where they all came from? This is North Carolina. I would not be surprised if vast amounts were illegal aliens getting paid with gift cards.
You’re right it has never happened, continuing to agree with Democrats on the terms of the debate is bordering on insanity
So both of you go on the Mark Levin show ...
I'd actually tune in to hear that.
Only debate if it is on Newsmax. Let Mark Levin and Sebastian Gorka moderate
When the democrats get tired of bussing them they will just dump and run. Get back on your own.
No more debates with ‘earings’ that have communication devices in them.
Kamala had to keep trump from standing next to her podium too, that is why she crossed to shake hands... her podium was smaller, trump would have made it look tiny.
Correct. The side-by-side faces instead of a full body view also made her look the same size as Trump. The downside of this for Kamala is that all her smirks, etc. showed clearly
