Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has joined other Democrats in attempting to goad former President Trump into debating Vice President Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, in the coming weeks, suggesting Trump is “afraid” of his new rival.
Trump’s team has said the 78-year-old former president will not agree to debate at this time because of the rapidly evolving campaign landscape. President Biden, 81, dropped his reelection bid less than a week ago and quickly endorsed Harris, 59, to take his spot at the top of the Democratic ticket.
Buttigieg, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday, suggested there may be more to Trump’s decision to dodge after previously agreeing to debate then-presumptive nominee Biden on Sept. 10.
“Tough talk is this guy’s calling card and now there’s this extraordinary show of weakness,” said Buttigieg, who is suspected to be a top contender to become Harris’s running mate. “[Trump] said anytime, anyplace, but more than that, he agreed to this specific debate, on this specific network, on this specific date, and now he’s pulling out.

Why should Trump walk onto a beat-down by a Democrat debate host?
Shut up you little fairy.
It’s crazy this narrative the media is pushing that Trump is “scared” to debate Harris. It would be one of the most watched debates in history of presidential debates and I believe Trump would totally annihilate the cackling Kamala. Trump had agreed to debate Biden again this fall. They have switched out candidates but Harris is not even yet the nominee.
Trump is more than willing to debate her. He has said so. But, there will have to start out from scratch on debate terms. For instance, I guess there will no longer be demands for the candidates to be seated.
Paying the PRICE? He won that debate hands DOWN!!!!!!
She’s not the nominee!
President Trump should insist that the debates not be a buffet of issues determined by the moderators where none gets a deep-dive, but should return to the format of the Obama debates with Mitt Romney where the entire 90 minutes is devoted to issues within a narrow theme.

At least this cock roach is an Art. II, §1, Cl. 5 natural-born citizen since his father became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1979.
Way to go, FReepers!
Plus Trump refuses to cheat feed his grand children!
Him agreeing to a debate but not agreeing to the terms is very smart. Guy literally has a defamation suit against Steffy why would he want him doing a debate moderation
Plus Trump refuses to che/s/t feed his grand children!
The gaslighting is just so over the top.
Yeah...right - Trump, after an assassination attempt, having been POTUS for 4 years, and handled Hillary like a chump...is scared of cankles Kamala?
Try even try to float that is just juvenile.
“That is some kind of stupid right there.”
They have done this before and will keep at it. They will take a Trump strong point such as his stamina or strength and then try to attack him as “weak”.
It is so predictable.
These people live in another universe and they just make stuff up as they go along and the media backs them up.

“...and now he’s pulling out.”

Trump would be adding credence to Kam’s position in politics if he accepts challenge. Kam is not worth it and the public knows it.
“Pence mopped the floor with her.”
Speaking of mopping the floor, run a broomstick up KJP’s rear, turn her over and swab the deck with that rat’s nest on the top of her dome.
