The former president took a shot at ABC News, which is set to host the debate in September.
Former PresidentĀ Donald Trump continued his attacks against ABC News on Monday as he moved to shift his commitment to the next presidential debate now that Vice PresidentĀ Kamala HarrisĀ is the frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee.
TrumpĀ began laying the groundworkĀ this weekend to dodge or change the rules of theĀ second debate heās agreed to, which is set to be held Sept. 10 and broadcast on ABC. The former president hasĀ been lividĀ after PresidentĀ Joe BidenĀ ended his bid for reelectionĀ on Sunday.
āABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business,ā he wrote onĀ Truth Social. āThey then tried to make āSleepyā look like a great President ā he was the WORST, and Lyinā Kamala into a competent person, which she is not.ā
The better aim is to fire up the people who donāt vote and to make sure people have the chance to vote. The left sweeps when people actually go out and vote and thatās why voter restriction is such a core goal of far-right parties.
Debates are great but a big problem for apathetic voters isnāt about whoās better but rather whoās worth standing in line for.
That is absolutely a valid approach. The gold standard is to get both. But convincing the undecideds is the traditional fallback. And why our Overton is screwed up.
