I feel like this is a smart move by Donald because we’re still in this fugue state where we’re almost certain Kamala is the nominee but we’re not even sure, and the DNC is literally 3 weeks away with the actual election fast approaching lmao. Nobody has seen Kamala on the campaign trail, people barely know her and the debate would be giving her added publicity.

On the other hand it might be a good thing for her, noone knows her so she’s just some generic Dem candidate vs bigbad baby that you can just VoteBlue for

rfk is polling high enough and is on the ballot in enough states now that he meets the eligibility criteria for the next debate

kamala should announce that she'll debate rfk if trump doesn't show up, i bet trump would change his mind and join in then

"Eligibility requirements" are a joke, they'll add some loophole to the rules at the last minute to lock out third-party candidates
