Vice President Kamala Harris recently confirmed on Thursday that she will be participating in a July debate, and her camp noted that the ball is now in Donald Trump’s court via Mediaite.
The former President is yet to pick a running mate. However, a number of names like Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Tim Scott (R-SC), North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), and others have rippled to the top as elected officials have shown up to offer support at Trump’s Manhattan hush money trial, as well as many visiting him recently at Mar-a-Lago.
“We look forward to the Trump campaign accepting one of these dates so that the full debate calendar for this campaign can be set,” Brian Fallon, campaign communications director for the vice president, said in a Thursday statement.
It has come to light that Sen. Scott alluded to taking part in a vice presidential debate in a Newsmax interview on Wednesday. He also appeared to suggest it should take place on Newsmax.
“I hear there’s a debate in July. If you’re the guy moderating, maybe I’ll be talking to you. We’ll see what happens,” he told host Eric Bolling.
When asked if he’d be Trump’s running mate, Scott said, “We’ll see, we’ll see.”
The confirmation follows President Joe Biden taking to social media on Wednesday morning and challenge Trump to two debates. The former president quickly accepted, and debates were set for June 27 on CNN and September 10 on ABC. Trump has also announced an October debate on Fox News. However, the rogue announcement has only confused as there is no confirmation beyond the former president. Biden’s camp accused the Republican of “playing games” with the debate over the announcement.
