US Vice President Kamala Harris said she was ready for a debate with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Her words are quoted by Politico.
"Trump agreed to this earlier. Now he backed out… I'm ready to go out [to the debate]," Harris told reporters.
In May, Trump and President Joe Biden agreed to hold a debate on June 27 on CNN and September 10 on ABC. The June debate ended in failure for Biden, after which Democrats and sponsors began to insist on his withdrawal from the election race.
On July 21, Biden announced that he was withdrawing from the presidential race and called on Americans to support Harris. Trump called Biden "the worst president in the history of the country." He claimed that it would be "much easier" to defeat Harris if she became the Democratic candidate.
The day before, in an interview with Fox News, the ex-president called Biden's exit from the race a "coup."
"They didn't want him to run. He was down in the polls and they thought he was going to lose. They came to him and said: you can't win the race, which I think is true," he is sure.
Harris' staff said after his interview that Trump was "old and pretty weird" and that "this guy should never be president again."
