Edit (2024-08-04): The New York Times altered the title from “Trump Agrees to a Fox News Debate With Harris on Sept. 4” to “Trump Proposes a Fox News Debate With Harris on Sept. 4” to “Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead”, presumably because the original misleadingly implied agreement with and consent from Kamala Harris for the change in venue (ABC News to Fox News).
You're viewing a single thread.
whoof this is a terrible idea for kamala, fox is litteraly the belly of the beast enemy territory, trump will always find a way, this time with the help of his friends at fox, to decimate his opponent. this is as equally bad an idea as it was for biden to agree to "debate" trump at all. no one "debates" Donald Trump, he's a bully, on television, with no rules, they are his victims.
this is a terrible fucking idea.
I'm not so sure. You're right that nobody "debates" Trump, but you do get to get onstage and launch attacks at him if you're smooth and know what you're doing.
Fox being the venue is a little meh though, I agree the questions will probably have a strong slant.
The questions would have a slant like a sheer fucking cliff. The audience would be hand picked by MAGA, Inc. There would be absolutely no gain to a "debate" on fox "news".
Usually things like audience representation and format are negotiated by the two campaigns before the debate is fully agreed to.
I think it's a rare chance to reach the Fox audience with things they don't often encounter due to their media bubbles.
