Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) urged former President Trump to accept any rule changes Vice President Harris’s campaign proposes for the upcoming ABC News debate, stressing the importance of ensuring the debate takes place.
Cruz, in a Monday night interview, pushed back on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s suggestion Trump should not “give in” to demands from the Harris campaign to change the terms of the presidential debate slated for Sept.
10.
The senator and Hannity shared the view that ABC News would be biased against the Republican nominee, but Cruz said Trump should do the debate regardless.
“Sean, I think Trump needs to do the debate,” Cruz said. “And frankly, I think he should agree to whatever stupid rules they want. It’s going to be hostile and rigged regardless.”
“Kamala wants to pick this fight to have an excuse to get out of the debate. Don’t let her out of the debate,” he later added.
“We need her there, because without a debate, her campaign will never answer a single question between now and Election Day, and that’s their only hope of winning: is focus on joy and hopey, changey stuff and not her disastrous record.”
