Pelosi doubts Trump will show up to the debate: ‘I know cowardice when I see it’ – Washington Examiner
In a recent interview at TribFest, Rep. Nancy Pelosi expressed skepticism about whether former President Donald Trump would attend the upcoming presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. When asked for her advice to Trump regarding the debate, she humorously suggested that she and Trump are ”close” and then posed the question, “Do you think he’s gonna show up?” When the interviewer expressed confidence in Trump’s attendance, Pelosi replied, “I know cowardice when I see it,” implying that she believes Trump may avoid the debate due to fear.
Pelosi doubts Trump will show up to the debate: ‘I know cowardice when I see it’
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) openly doubted that former President Donald Trump would show up to the presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, scheduled for Tuesday.
In an interview at TribFest, the former House speaker was asked what advice she would give the former president regarding the debate, then joking that the two are “close.”
“Do you think he’s gonna show up?” Pelosi responded.
The interviewer asked if Pelosi knew something everyone else didn’t.
“I know cowardice when I see it,” the former House speaker said.
Pelosi and Trump have been rivals since the latter assumed the presidency in 2017, with the former having been a thorn in Trump’s side ever since.
Trump has given no indication he will not show up to the debate, hosted by ABC News Sept. 10, though he has complained about the news organization’s bias. His team refused to change the rules from what was originally agreed to by Trump and at-the-time Democratic nominee, President Joe Biden. As the newly inducted nominee, Harris wanted to change the rule about muted mics, but lost.
Though stepping down from the House speakership position earlier this year, Pelosi has remained a powerhouse in Democratic politics, playing a central role in forcing Biden to step down as the Democratic nominee.
