The Trump campaign has announced that it will not commit to any debates at this time, citing the lack of an official Democratic nominee as the reason. The campaign also mentioned that former President Barack Obama's lack of endorsement for Kamala Harris influenced their decision. This announcement comes amid speculation that Trump is avoiding debates with Harris, whom he referred to as a 'Marxist.' A recent CNN poll found that 73% of Democrats want someone other than Harris to be the party's nominee. The decision has sparked significant media attention and criticism, with some suggesting that Trump is fearful of facing Harris in a debate. Trump's advisors believe there is no benefit in debating Harris, and the campaign is considering renegotiating the terms to potentially include a debate hosted by Fox News.
