How is this even legal?
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has sharply criticized what he describes as a deceptive maneuver by Democrats, suggesting that the shift from President Joe Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris is a calculated strategy to undermine his campaign and drain its financial resources. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump argued that the Democrats’ tactics, including numerous legal challenges and civil lawsuits against him, are designed to deplete his campaign funds, making it difficult for him to compete effectively.
Trump expressed frustration that Democrats have essentially replaced a candidate they deemed defeated with a new contender, which he views as an unprecedented and unconstitutional act that undermines democratic norms. He described this as a “threat to democracy” and lamented the fact that after investing significant time, money, and effort into his campaign against Biden, he now faces a new opponent in Kamala Harris.
Trump emphasized that despite these challenges, he remains determined to confront Harris in the upcoming debate. He has committed to participating in a debate scheduled for September 4 on Fox News, addressing a “full arena audience.” In response, the Harris campaign has stated that they would only debate under the initial conditions agreed upon with Biden, which has added further tension to the situation.
The former president remains resolute, asserting that while the candidate may have changed, the problematic policies of the Democratic Party will be the focal point of the debate. Trump is eager to engage with Harris and showcase his differences with the administration’s policies, especially as the debate date precedes the start of early voting for the 2024 Presidential Election.
Trump concluded by expressing his enthusiasm for the debate and his anticipation of addressing voters in Pennsylvania. He views this debate as a critical opportunity to challenge Harris and demonstrate his policy positions as he gears up for the electoral battle ahead.
