Trump also commented on the circumstances surrounding President Joe Biden\u2019s leadership, stating that &#8220;the presidency was taken away from Joe Biden,&#8221; despite not being\u2064 a supporter of Biden. The situation underscores the challenges Harris may face \u200bduring the upcoming electoral \u2064campaign, particularly in\u200d managing public appearances and debates \u200dto address criticisms and concerns about her readiness as a candidate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>At least one debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will take place before voters go to the polls &mdash; and, during a media briefing Thursday evening, Trump said he hoped there would be many more opportunities for the presumptive Democratic nominee to gaffe away.<\/p>\n<p>During the press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump proposed three dates on three networks: Sept. 4 on Fox News, Sept. 10 on ABC, and Sept. 25 on NBC.<\/p>\n<p>Only one of those has been agreed to by both teams, however: The Sept. 10 event on ABC, which had been previously scheduled for a Trump-Biden showdown, according to reports from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/live-blog\/harris-trump-presidential-election-live-updates-rcna164955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have spoken to the heads of the networks and it&rsquo;s all been confirmed, other than some fairly minor details,&rdquo; Trump said of the potential trio of debates.<\/p>\n<p>The details to be sorted out included audience and location, but these were &ldquo;things that will be settled very easily, I think.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-bidens-misstatement-says-no-peaceful-transfer-power-trump-wins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> said that he thought it was &ldquo;very important to have debates,&rdquo; particularly given the fact that Harris has ducked any sort of question-taking from the media since becoming the de facto successor to President Joe Biden in mid-July after Biden&rsquo;s implosion in the first presidential debate.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The other side has to agree to the terms,&rdquo; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They may or may not agree, I don&rsquo;t know if they&rsquo;re going to agree,&rdquo; the former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-senators-under-fire-for-rejecting-election-fraud\/\" title=\"GOP senators under fire for rejecting election fraud\">president noted<\/a>, before throwing in one of his classic jabs. &ldquo;She hasn&rsquo;t done an interview, she can&rsquo;t do an interview.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She&rsquo;s barely competent and she can&rsquo;t do an interview.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Trump on Kamala Harris: &ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s very important to have debates.

While speaking at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump suggested three potential dates across different networks: September 4 on Fox News, September 10 on ABC, and September 25 on NBC. However, only the September 10 event on ABC has been confirmed by both teams; this event was initially planned as a Trump-Biden debate according to NBC News reports. <\/p>\n<p>Trump stated that discussions with network executives have been productive and that only minor details remain unresolved regarding audience size and location. He emphasized the importance of having debates, especially since Harris has avoided media questions since becoming Biden&#8217;s presumed successor after his poor performance in the first presidential debate. &#8220;The other side needs to agree to the terms,&#8221; he remarked while expressing uncertainty about their willingness to do so.<\/p>\n<p>He criticized Harris further by saying she hasn&#8217;t participated in interviews due to her perceived lack of competence. On Thursday it was reported that Harris plans to give an interview within three weeks; she mentioned wanting an interview scheduled before month\u2019s end while traveling from Detroit to Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has faced minimal scrutiny since taking over as the Democratic candidate without participating in any primaries. During his briefing, Trump found himself defending Biden against claims of being sidelined by Team Kamala despite Biden running largely unopposed in those primaries.<\/p>\n<p>Trump asserted that &#8220;the presidency was taken away from Joe Biden,&#8221; acknowledging he isn&#8217;t a fan of Biden but arguing that regardless of whether he could win or not, he had every right to run for office.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s evident why Harris&#8217;s team may be reluctant about more debates or interviews\u2014Biden had excuses related to age when he struggled during debates; however, at 59 years old compared with Biden&#8217;s 81 years old age gap raises questions about her own performance if similar situations arise when facing unscripted interactions with media or opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Before becoming vice president, Kamala Harris had never traveled abroad nor demonstrated extensive knowledge through reading\u2014factors contributing perhaps towards her past struggles such as failing the bar exam. She will need to navigate at least two significant challenges soon: conducting an interview before September 1st and participating in a debate on September 10th\u2014to see if she can handle these demands effectively remains uncertain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2321829,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/donny-boy-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3896,4021,4188,32818,3634],"class_list":["post-2321828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-debate","tag-harris","tag-media","tag-press-conference","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/donny-boy-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2321828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2321829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2321828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2321828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2321828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
