No. 2 Senate GOP leader: Trump should debate Harris again
The Hill ^ | 09/13/24 8:34 AM ET | by Alexander Bolton

Posted on 09/13/2024 7:40:20 AM PDT by RandFan

Senate Republican Whip John Thune (N.D.), the No. 2-ranking Senate GOP leader, says former President Trump should agree to a second debate with Vice President Harris.

Thune, a leading candidate to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.) as the next Senate Republican leader, said Trump needs to do a better job of highlighting the substantive differences between the two presidential candidates, something Thune believes was glossed over in the first debate.

Asked whether Trump should agree to a second debate, Thune told the Associated Press in an interview: “Yes, I do. I think it would be helpful.”

“I don’t think they got enough into the substance of their differences and I think elections are always about differences. The contrast this time around couldn’t be more clear in terms of their records, their positions, their vision for the future,” Thune said.

“Litigating that in a debate setting would be really important and I don’t think they got enough of that done [Tuesday] night,” he said.

Let Thune do some press conferences on Trump’s behalf and articulate what he wants said.

Honest debate requires honest participants and moderators.

I think we've seen plenty of evidence that the Democrats and media are incapable of that.

Only if it’s done at a neutral site with a neutral moderator. No showboating by the moderator, no virtue signaling, no funny stuff. No alphabet networks.
