Trump Campaign Provides Hilarious Response To Question About VP Debate

The Trump Campaign issued a hilarious response to a report that Vice President Harris has already agreed to debate Trump’s new running-mate, Senator J.D. Vance.

Harris has agreed to a debate on CBS News on either July 23 or August 13, two dates that were previously agreed upon by former President Trump on behalf of his then-unselected running-mate. Trump had agreed to a debate on Fox News, however, a stipulation Biden’s team is expected to reject.

On Wednesday, the Trump campaign responded to Harris’ willingness to debate in a hilarious press release.

“We don’t know who the Democrat nominee for Vice President is going to be, so we can’t lock in a date before their convention,” reads the release, which was crafted by senior campaign advisor Brian Hughes.

“To do so would be unfair to Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer or whoever Kamala Harris selects as her running mate.”

Talk of President Biden stepping down has reached a fever pitch after the White House abruptly cancelled an event in Las Vegas on Wednesday. The White House stated that President Biden was diagnosed with COVID-19 and was forced to cancel.

The announcement came just hours after President Biden — who has publicly resisted growing calls to step aside — stated that he would consider stepping down if he were diagnosed with a serious medical condition. “If I had some medical condition that emerged,” he said. “If doctors came to me and said ‘you got this problem or that problem.’”

After the president was seen struggling to climb to steps of Air Force one — and later seen struggling to get into a car — CNN reported that Biden is now “more receptive” to stepping aside.

Citing a conversation with a “senior Democratic advisor,” CNN’s Jeff Zeleny reported that President Biden is now more receptive to these calls of concern,” from Democrat lawmakers, donors and strategists who have called on him to step down. 

The reports continued on Wednesday, as one reporter claimed that Biden will be stepping aside this weekend, citing a senior White House source.

“This is happening all of a sudden. Everyone said it would happen gradually and then all at once, and that’s what’s happening. According to my sources, President Biden has agreed to step down as a Democratic nominee. It will happen as early as this weekend. A speech has been drafted for him. He will continue on as president, is his intention,” Mark Halperin reported in a segment on Newsmax.

Halperin further reported that Biden will not be endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, leading to an open convention.

Fox News correspondent Brooke Singman pushed back on the claims, citing two conversations with White House staffers. “The President is more committed than ever to winning this election,” said one source, while the other described the reports as “entirely inaccurate.”
