President Donald Trump’s campaign has issued a threat to pull out of the upcoming debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. The reason for this threat is the campaign’s demand that the debate’s moderator be changed.
The Trump campaign is claiming that the currently selected moderator, Kristen Welker of NBC News, is biased against the President. They argue that Welker has previously been vocal in her criticism of Trump and that she cannot be impartial in her role as moderator.
This threat comes just days before the planned debate between Trump and Harris, which is set to take place on October 22. The Trump campaign’s demand for a new moderator is putting the future of the debate in jeopardy, as Harris’s team has already rejected the idea of changing moderators.
The Trump campaign’s threat to pull out of the debate has sparked criticism from many, who argue that the President should not be able to dictate the terms of the debate. Some have accused Trump of trying to avoid facing Harris in a debate, while others have criticized his campaign for attacking the integrity of a respected journalist.
Both Trump and Harris have been preparing for what is expected to be a highly anticipated and closely watched debate. The two candidates have exchanged heated words in the lead-up to the debate, with Harris accusing Trump of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic and Trump criticizing Harris’s record on law enforcement.
With tensions already running high between the two campaigns, the threat to pull out of the debate has added a new layer of uncertainty to the already unpredictable presidential race. As the debate date approaches, all eyes will be on whether the two candidates will be able to come to an agreement and move forward with the event.
