'Scared' Trump is facing a new Kamala Harris debate dilemma: GOP strategist

Reacting to Donald Trump's demand that Vice President Kamala Harris debate him on Fox News with a large crowd in attendance, a Republican Party strategist suggested the former president may face more scrutiny if he refuses to show up for the previously agreed upon date and time on ABC.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang, Susan Del Percio agreed with the host that the former president looks like a coward for trying to change the venue and hosts after the Harris campaign publicly called him out for "Running straight to Fox News to bail him out."

As Phang put it, "This idea that he wants to go to Trump-friendly grounds of Fox and he will do it before some huge live kind of audience, I mean what is the idea of the fact that he actually won't meet Kamala where he agreed to meet her before?"

"He is scared of her, that's why his attacks on her are basically hateful and mean," Del Percio shot back.

"There's no substance to anything he has to say about the vice president," she continued. "And let's not forget, now we are going to have a candidate up there — we going to see two people debating and I do believe she will debate him even if it means going to Fox."

"But she's going to present a case and Donald Trump is going to be left stumbling and wandering off and not finishing his sentences and talking about sharks and boats in and who knows what," she predicted and then added, "And I think he is afraid of that comparison, even if they both agree to a Foxx debate. I still think he says at the end of the day, 'I'm a no-show.'"
