Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, in an interview published Wednesday, said it will “absolutely be incumbent” on Republican presidential candidates during the first primary debate to address the criminal charges former President Trump faces.

“It will absolutely be incumbent upon them to address [Trump’s criminal charges],” MacCall“Voters need to hear how they see it, and the option that they’re trying to provide. It’s very tricky territory for these candidates. They know that well,” she added. “It’s kind of a minefield.”um told “Vanity Fair.”

Honestly, I can’t stand the debates because the moderators want to make it about them, every time.

No moderators, only time keepers, when time is up mic is cut.

Trump will surrender at Fulton County just to shut the debate coverage down.

Then he’ll come out and do a press conference about how the other Republicans are speaking and not fighting, and this is what the deep state does to those who fight.

Then all the other candidates should poll around 0-1%.

Which really makes them look small when all they do is also talk about Trump. Pretty pathetic really.

Fine with me if they are required to talk about the thing that keeps pushing Trump’s numbers higher and higher

The highly anticipated debate is set to take place Aug. 23 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention will be held in 2024.

The response should entail the two tier system and the politicization of the justice dept and election interference. Anything else is garbage.

Hell, it's a posse of single digit midgets, all pouring out of a never-trump clown car.

Anything besides calling or a “witch hunt” kills any of their chances (which aren’t great to begin with)

If the GOP hired me, they’d be playing uncensored abortion videos, how much you owe in government debt, and tours of all of Biden’s homes on Tiktok right now.

I’d have protestors outside of Chutkan’s house. The sad thing about this is that the left has no morality until someone does it to them. Then they freak out and everyone notices the hypocrisy.

Maybe they might consider attacking the Biden issues with the economy etc. etc. instead of attacking PDJT! Idiots!

This is why Trump has no reason to even show up at this stupid “debate.”

This dingbat works for the same Fox News that openly and unapologetically refused to address the Hunter Biden laptop story in that infamous “debate” in 2020.

Anyone who piles on Trump over the indictments will be committing political suicide.
