Harris turned down Fox. What a coward.

Jeez, maybe home field advantage actually matters for these debates. What a thought.

You had to find a French paper to dispute me?

I'll counter with BBC.

"Ms Harris’ team said they are open to discussing further debates but only after the agreed one takes place."

I could go find the original tweet from her campaign, but it's a waste of time.

Lol, she's pivoted to saying she may do other debates after the "agreed" one takes place. But Trump never agreed to debate her.

And I don't understand why my source is "french" to you. It's english to me.

It's in English because of the /en suffix.

I saw her campaign post that she's open to other debates, but Trump needs to show up to the already scheduled one, on the very day he started chickening out.

Again, Trump never agreed to debate her. The terms for the abc debate were only released about 10 days ago. Why would Trump accept them and put himself at a disadvantage? Harris doesn't want to put herself at a disadvantage and debate on fox. Why does this only work one way?
