The final debate in the 2024 election cycle is anticipated to be between the vice presidential candidates, according to statements from Donald Trump's campaign. The campaign indicated uncertainty regarding the possibility of another presidential debate, stating that the current debate is the only one left on the calendar.
During a call on Monday morning, Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller addressed questions about the potential for additional debates. Miller suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris is reluctant to engage in another debate with President Trump, citing her previous performance as a reason for her hesitance.
Miller claimed that Harris is seeking a rematch with Trump in October due to her perceived loss in the first debate on ABC News. He noted that the momentum appears to be shifting away from Harris, implying that she may be apprehensive about facing Trump in another debate.
While acknowledging that the upcoming debate is currently the only one scheduled, Miller left open the possibility of additional debates, stating, 'We will see what happens.' He hinted at the challenges that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may face in defending Harris's record during the debate, suggesting that this may influence the decision to participate in future debates.
As the election cycle progresses, the dynamics of the debates and candidates' strategies continue to evolve. The final debate, which may feature the vice presidential candidates, could serve as a crucial moment in shaping the narrative of the 2024 election.
