Kamala Harris said on Thursday that she was ready to debate with Donald Trump, who she will face in the November presidential election, accusing the Republican tycoon of trying to avoid this face-to-face.
“Trump has agreed to a debate on September 10. “It now seems that he is backpedaling,” the Democratic candidate mocked in a message on the X network, assuring on the contrary that she was “ready.”
Donald Trump had indicated that he was “totally” inclined to debate with her, but under different conditions, the choice of the planned channel, ABC, no longer suited him.
The former Republican president had agreed with Joe Biden to debate twice before the presidential election in November, on June 27 and September 10.
But the disastrous performance of the outgoing president during this first televised duel finally led him on Sunday to give up running for a second term, after weeks of calls to leave the race, against a backdrop of concerns about his physical condition and mental.
Since that thunderbolt, her vice president, Kamala Harris, has taken up the torch and launched her campaign, now with broad support among Democrats.
“They pushed him out, Pelosi, Obama and others,” Donald Trump accused of Joe Biden.

Campaigning in Texas on Thursday, Kamala Harris reeled off the campaign arguments she has been honing since Sunday: education, abortion rights, accessible health care, etc.
And she did not hold back against the former Republican president: Donald Trump and his allies “have the nerve to tell teachers to put a gun in the classroom when they refuse to adopt common sense laws on gun safety,” the fifty-year-old told the federation American Teachers' Association.
“Donald Trump and his extremist allies want to take our nation back to failed economic policies,” she further lamented.
The vice-president also mentioned the bans in several conservative states of books addressing subjects linked to gender, sexuality or even racism: “we want to ban assault weapons, and they want to ban books”.
Her first campaign video was released on Thursday, and the Democrat can boast of having as a soundtrack a song by the superstar Beyoncé, although she is known for maintaining very strict control on his music.
Kamala Harris, now almost assured of being officially nominated by her party for the November presidential election, was violently attacked by Donald Trump on Wednesday evening , during a campaign rally in North Carolina.
He had notably accused her of being in favour of the “execution of babies” in an anti-abortion diatribe. The former president also, as with each of his opponents, gave her a nickname: “Kamala the liar.”
Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, drew the ire of actress Jennifer Aniston on Thursday for his comment on the fact that Kamala Harris does not have children, disdaining “old cat ladies without children.”
“I really can't believe this is coming from a potential vice president of the United States,” commented the star of the series Friends on Instagram, who had publicly made state of her failures to get pregnant.
On Wednesday night, Joe Biden, from the Oval Office of the White House, explained his decision to leave the campaign. He assured that he had done so to “save democracy” and make way for “younger voices” — Kamala Harris being more than 20 years his junior.
“A selfless act, something very few politicians would do,” praised the White House press secretary on Thursday.
