Harris presses Trump to debate again: VP showdown 'should not be the last word'

Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday re-upped her calls for a second debate with former President Trump as she courted voters in the critical swing state of Nevada two days before the first vice presidential debate.

“In two days, I know we will cheer on Coach Walz when he debates JD Vance. But listen, also, their debate should not be the last word,” Harris told a rally crowd at the World Market Expo Center in Las Vegas. Some 7,500 people attended, according to a campaign official.

“I’m trying to debate Donald Trump again. I think he should debate again. The American people have a right to hear us discuss the issues. And as you say here in Las Vegas, I’m all in. I’m all in, even if my opponent is ready to fold,” Harris said.

Harris and Trump squared off in their first debate earlier this month. The Democrat was widely seen as the winner, and she’s accepted an invitation from CNN for a second showdown. But Trump has said he won’t do another, despite pressure from some in his own party.

He's already hemorrhaging his diminishing "base." His rallies consist of increasingly-bizarre, incomprehensible and dangerous babble because trump is scrambling to solidify support with what's left of his "base." All that's left are the most extreme lunatics (and the billionaires that want to loot the treasury and not pay any taxes.) The sane-washing machine the media relies on is on its last legs. So another debate would, at best, just hasten the erosion of his support.

Otherwise, the MSM and the coronated punditry would be all about, "Why is Kamala not pressing for a 2nd debate?" "What is she afraid of?" etc.
