“Trump is afraid to debate Kamala because he knew what he was getting into when he was going to debate Biden, and Kamala is not like that. She’s mentally intact still, and she has a lot of people backing her. There was this conversation around youth, and he was able to pounce on that with Biden. He can’t do that with Kamala. He knows now that she’s not easy prey, so he’s scared. He’s scared, and he should be.”

“I believe that he is out of his league. She’s a prosecutor. He’s afraid to be prosecuted in a debate, and she will wear him out. Most definitely. because all he does is lie. And she’s going to fact-check him at every opportunity. He can’t handle being fact-checked by an African-American woman. There you go.”

“My thoughts around Donald Trump’s not wanting to debate with Vice President Kamala Harris are that he doesn’t want that smoke, or rather, he doesn’t want that fire. He is not used to addressing issues head-on. He used to divert, go off-topic, or not address the key issues. If he has to address the issues, he will lose. That’s it.”

“In my opinion, the reason why Donald Trump is reluctant or afraid to debate Kamala Harris is because he knows his talking points don’t have substance outside of his normal base, and in debating Kamala Harris, he would be pushed to answer questions that he’s probably not prepared to answer. Whether it’s on immigration, whether it’s on his criminal convictions, or just anything outside of his normal talking points, I believe he’s very reluctant to be faced head-on because, of course, he goes into attack mode whenever he gets hit with tough questions, especially if his team has not prepared him for it. So I think Vice President Kamala Harris represents one of those people who would call him to the carpet on many things, and he just doesn’t want to be embarrassed.”
