The Trump campaign has decided to hold off on locking in debates with Vice President Kamala Harris, and this has sent ripples through the political arena like a stone skipped across a pond. With uncertainty hanging over the Democrat nomination process—mostly due to the dramatic exit of good ol’ Joe Biden—the Trump team is rightfully cautious. They’re not interested in scheduling face-offs with a politician who has yet to receive a formal nomination and is, frankly, considered more of a placeholder than a challenger right now.
The statement from the campaign hints at the pandemonium enveloping the Democrat Party, where even the former leader, Barack Obama, seems less than confident about Harris being the candidate that can go toe-to-toe with Trump. There’s a palpable sense of desperation, as Democrat insiders scout for a more competent successor. The underlying chaos reveals that many believe Harris is less equipped for the presidency and more like a skilled ventriloquist’s dummy—someone to speak when the party needs a face but maybe not the one they want out front.
Town Hall: Trump Campaign Provides Another Update on the Debates https://t.co/9oQr7uVNuI

Harris, however, isn’t backing down. She took to social media to express her disbelief over Trump’s reluctance to commit to debates, questioning the integrity of his previous bold proclamations of readiness. She had somehow convinced herself that she was a serious contender for a major political showdown. Spoiler alert: the only thing she’s won is a ticket to the back row of the Democrat Party’s never-ending clown car.
No one can blame Trump for wanting to wait. After all, he’s already been through a series of debates with Biden, which were so painful they could have been mistaken for a horror movie. Trump has the foresight to recognize that engaging with someone who has yet to secure any votes in primary elections is not only premature—it’s absurd. Harris didn’t even make it to the starting line in the last election cycle, dropping out before a single vote was cast. As much as her aides might want to spin it, that lack of support hardly qualifies her as a legitimate contender.
Despite the Obama endorsement surfacing, it’s clear that internal Democrat strife is pushing them into a subscription model of political participation: they keep saying they’ll deliver a nominee, but right now, they’re hopping around like headless chickens. The daily updates reveal more about their panic than any sense of order, and it certainly seems like Harris’s path to being crowned the nominee is fraught with bumps, pits, and potentially a complete roadblock.
The call from Harris for open debates might seem to echo a newfound confidence but really serves as a reminder of her precarious position. There is a chorus of voices highlighting her failure to garner a single delegate in the current cycle, and even the staunchest Democrats can’t hide the fact that they might still reconsider their options. As the old adage goes, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it—so here’s hoping they remember the pitiful performance that led them to this rather embarrassing juncture. Until there’s clarity in the Democrat camp, the Trump campaign would indeed be wise to wait before stepping into the political boxing ring with Harris.
