Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump plans to appear in front of the television cameras even if Vice President Harris misses the two scheduled debates, a campaign official told The Washington Post.
If Harris is unable to attend, “a town hall meeting will be held,” a Trump administration official said.
Harris, who is considered the Democratic presidential nominee, has just formally agreed to run for the presidency on ABC on September 10.
The former president said at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago this week that he has agreed to debate on Fox News on Sept. 4 and on NBC on Sept. 25.
Harris left open the possibility of a date with NBC, but appeared to rule out one with Fox News.
“I’m pleased that he’s finally agreed to the Sept. 10 debate,” she said Thursday. “I’d be happy to discuss additional debates or even debates beyond Sept. 10.”
The Vice President has not held a press conference since President Biden decided to withdraw from the election race on July 21.
But one disgruntled Democratic official argued that Harris was “helping run the country.”
“She had [Trump] “I will.”
“For now, they feel it’s safer to isolate Trump and let the established media do their job,” said Matt Wolking, a Republican strategist.
