WATCH: Dan Goldman MELTS DOWN After Bret Baier Brutally Fact-Checks Him On Trump

Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY), a reliable cheerleader for the Harris campaign, was pulled sharply back to reality after making unsubstantiated claims about the upcoming presidential debates.

The time-honored tradition of debates about the actual debates remains ongoing following President Joe Biden’s decision to exit the race. Former President Donald Trump will now face off against Vice President Kamala Harris as their two camps spar over the settings and formats of any televised showdowns. Speaking on Fox News, Rep. Goldman falsely claimed that President Trump “doesn’t want to debate” Harris because of her strength on the stage as a former prosecutor. Host Bret Baier was quick to correct him.

“Well, he’s accepted three. He said yes to September 4th, September 10th, September 17th. He’s said yes to a lot of them, so it’s not that he’s obviously afraid to debate,” he replied, forcing the Democratic congressman to clarify his position. “No no no. He agreed to September 10th on ABC…” he started as Baier interjected, “with Biden, who got pushed out!” Goldman maintained that Trump should regardless be willing to debate any Democratic nominee. “It’s fine, he said he would do it. I’m just saying he’s also agreed to other debates. You said he hasn’t agreed to others. He has. It’s the Kamala Harris campaign that hasn’t agreed on the other side,” the host reminded his guest.

The clip, put out by President Trump’s rapid response social media account, signals that the Harris campaign is pushing a message through surrogates that Trump is still on his heels more than three weeks after she entered the race. President Trump has consistently said he would debate Harris in any setting, though he at first demanded that the original September 10th debate be moved to Fox News instead of ABC News. At a press conference last week, the former president estimated that the Democratic leader is “not smart enough to do a news conference,” tying her lack of public appearances to a lack of willingness to debate. Others have called for Vice President Harris to be more available to the media.

In response to challenges to agree to more debates, the Harris campaign has called for President Trump to stick to the format he originally agreed upon for a debate against President Biden. “Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10,” Harris Campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement earlier this month.

President Trump was quick to respond, citing his ongoing lawsuit against ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos as a conflict of interest for continuing to hold the first debate on the network. “I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” the former president wrote on Truth Social. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.”
