DNC's Bold Move: Will Trump Debate Harris?

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) launched an advertising campaign taunting Donald Trump for avoiding a debate with Kamala Harris. The ads, labeling Trump as a 'convicted felon,' appear on local newspaper homepages during his campaign stops. Trump, leading in polls, remains non-committal about debating Harris, despite her urging.

DNC's Bold Move: Will Trump Debate Harris?

The Democratic National Committee has launched an aggressive new advertising campaign targeting Republican rival Donald Trump. The campaign questions Trump's refusal to commit to a debate with Kamala Harris, labeling him a 'convicted felon' across state newspapers where he is set to campaign.

The ads premiered on the Atlanta Journal Constitution's homepage prior to Trump's visit to Georgia and will follow him through local outlets at his rally stops. Trump's campaign insists he supports state rights on abortion and accuses Democrats like Harris of being out of touch.

With Biden's exit and Harris securing the Democratic nomination, recent polls show a competitive race. Despite early claims that he would debate, Trump remains evasive, stating his lead in polls makes a debate unnecessary. This contentious issue becomes a focal point for Harris on the campaign trail.
