Trump Strategically Sidesteps Harris in Debate Tactics
Submitted by MAGA

In a bold strategic move leading up to the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump is poised to maintain his lead without further debates against Vice President Kamala Harris, as cited by his campaign's strategic communications director Marc Lotter.
Many are speculating about Harris's repeated calls for another faceoff, but Lotter's analysis suggests that Trump, who is currently ahead in the polls, has no obligation to step onto the debate stage yet again.
Harris’s insistence on debating on left-leaning networks, despite the evident bias exhibited during their previous encounter, raises serious questions about the integrity of such a debate. Lotter articulated that Harris’s team rejected Trump's offer to debate on Fox News, a more favorable platform for a fair exchange of ideas.
“Why would Trump give her another opportunity to spin narratives when he’s already leading?” Lotter asked, noting that Harris lags behind her predecessor Joe Biden's polling figures at this time in 2020.
In fact, she is struggling against Trump not only in national polls but also in key battleground states, putting her considerably behind even Hillary Clinton's position during the last election cycle.
The criticism of the ABC News debate format further fuels doubts about the fairness of debates moderated by networks with heavy partisan leanings. During the first debate, Trump faced relentless fact-checks while Harris navigated the discussion with minimal pushback from biased moderators.
Trump himself commented on the unequal treatment during the debate, stating, “We had a deal where that wouldn’t happen.” He emphasized the need for credible platforms to ensure that the dialogue presented to voters reflects an unbiased examination of policies.
Given the current polling landscape and the fair-weather treatment from the media, Trump’s decision to bypass further debates with Harris seems not only strategic but prudent. With multiple indicators suggesting his campaign's upward trajectory, the former president undoubtedly recognizes that his lead does not necessitate a return to a potentially hostile and unjust debate format.
As the election season progresses, many are waiting to see if Harris can regroup and alter her strategy, or if she will continue to struggle in the shadows of her predecessor as Trump focuses on expanding his coalition and solidifying his position as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
