Donald Trump: Stop playing games and agree to debate Vice President Kamala Harris NOW!

Before President Joe Biden stepped down from the presidential race, Donald Trump had agreed to participate in a debate hosted by ABC News on September 10.
But days after Harris confirmed she was running for president, Trump started walking back on his commitment to the debate. The latest? Trump wants to debate Harris only on his terms and by his rules. He is agreeing only to a debate moderated by Fox “News” anchors in a MAGA-filled arena. It’s unacceptable, yet unsurprising. Harris is ready to debate Trump on September 10 and has committed to showing up either way.
Last year, Trump said that he was ready to do "10 debates" with President Biden. But now that Harris is the nominee, he is backing out. It seems that Trump is terrified to debate Harris, and he should be.

Trump knows that if he shows up to the debate, Harris will continue to expose his dangerous Project 2025 plan that, if implemented, would give him unchecked powers to eliminate abortion, hurt working- and middle-class people, fire civil servants, eliminate Social Security and Medicare, and roll back our rights and freedoms while reshaping all aspects of the government. But that is no excuse to back out of a debate he had already committed to.
Donald Trump needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already agreed to do. Will you sign the petition?
Why is this important?
Trump knows that more and more voters are learning about Project 2025 and he's trying to distance himself from it by claiming to not know anything about Project 2025 or who's behind it. That is a lie. Many members of Trump's former administration and Trump allies are involved with Project 2025, and in 2022, when talking about the Heritage Foundation, Trump said, "This is a great group, and they're going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America."
Trump has a track record of inciting the deadly white supremacist-led January 6 insurrection, attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, packing the Supreme Court with MAGA Republican judges who have stripped away our freedoms and bodily autonomy over and over again, giving tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations, hurling racist, sexist, Islamophobic attacks, and more.

Harris has tirelessly advocated for and fought for our communities and freedoms. She has fought to raise the minimum wage, protect our voting rights, make higher education tuition-free, reform the cash bail system, expand access to health care, hold sexual abusers accountable, protect our reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy, protect the LGBTQIA+ community, and so much more.
Harris has a proven track record of putting people over corporations by taking on fraudsters trying to cheat the American people—and winning, successfully going after Big Oil, greedy pharmaceutical companies, and predatory mortgage lenders to deliver wins for working people. This is why she is ready to show up to the debate on September 10, with or without Trump.
Will you sign the petition to tell Trump that voters expect him to stop playing games and show up to debate Vice President Kamala Harris NOW?
