Harris does not need another debate to ‘dodge’ questions: Kaylee McGhee White – Washington Examiner
In a recent opinion piece by Kaylee McGhee White for the Washington Examiner, she argues that former President Donald Trump is right to avoid participating in another debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. White believes that Harris should not be given another opportunity to evade pressing questions from the press, as she claims she did in their previous encounter. Harris has expressed a desire to debate Trump on CNN again, but White contends that voters are more interested in concrete answers related to economic issues and the comparison of living standards under current President Joe Biden versus Trump. White criticizes Harris for her lack of direct responses to policy questions in their past debate, suggesting that allowing her another chance to speak publicly would only enable further obfuscation. She also highlights the need for fairness in moderating any future debates, referencing previous criticisms of their handling in the last debate.
Harris does not need another debate to ‘dodge’ questions: Kaylee McGhee White
The Washington Examiner’s Kaylee McGhee White argued that former President Donald Trump is right not to participate in another debate, as his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, should not be given another opportunity to “dodge” questions from the press.
Harris has asked to do a second debate with Trump on CNN next month, while the former president has expressed little interest in a second go-round. While White appeared on Fox News’s The Faulkner Focus, Richard Fowler, a Fox News contributor, suggested a second debate would allow Harris to share more about her policies, prompting White to disagree.
SO MANY DON’T WANT TO KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS
“Kamala Harris doesn’t need another 90 minutes to continue to dodge the questions that she was directly asked,” said White, a Restoring America editor. “Richard, if you can provide an example from that debate where she gave a straightforward answer to one of the policy questions that was asked of her, I would love to hear it because all she talked about was her middle-class background and her experience in lawfare. Those are not answers that American voters are looking for.”
White contended that voters wanted answers regarding how Harris would improve the cost of living and whether the vice president believed they were better off under President Joe Biden‘s watch than they were under Trump’s. White added that Harris “refused to answer” these questions and that Trump should not give her “another 90 minutes” to avoid them.
Harris Faulkner also suggested that if a second debate between Harris and Trump were to take place, there would need to be “some fairness” among the moderators. ABC News, which hosted the last debate, has been criticized greatly over its handling of the faceoff due to how moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-checked Trump numerous times without fact-checking Harris.
Shortly after the ABC News debate, Trump appeared to shut down the possibility of doing another debate with Harris, claiming that the vice president wants “a rematch.” Trump previously offered to debate her on Fox News on Sept. 4, though Harris turned this down and chose to stick with the ABC News debate, which was originally meant for Trump and Biden.
The DNCemocratic National Committee recently launched an ad campaign to try and goad the former president into another debate, depicting Trump dressed in a chicken suit on its billboard ad.
