Tim Ryan, former Ohio Democratic representative, says Trump is avoiding debate because ‘he is scared’
Lol. The guy got a cease and desist order from The Tom Petty estate for illegally using the song Won’t Back Down, yet here he is doing the exact opposite. That’s some 5D chess moves.
As a candidate, you should be ready to debate any place, any time and with zero notice. Because real life is hardly fair and never works on a timeline of your choosing.
Heck, we should be forcing random debates much like random drug tests. Wake them up early morning on a random wednesday and force them to do a debate. Let’s see who can really be coherent under pressure.

That’s literally something Trump said.
Of course, he said it when he was running against Biden, not a much younger woman of color.
Someone tried to kill Trump at a rally. He still does rallies. Someone tried to kill Trump on a golf course. He still golfs.
Trump would rather be shot at again than have to face Harris on the debate stage. You quickly find out that bullies are actually cowards once you see someone stand up to them and punch them in the face.
She also stepped up when he tried to do that bullying handshake thing. He couldn’t even bully her subtly on the side, so he definitely doesn’t want to face her again.
He does this thing where he tries to intimidate people by unexpectedly pulling them during a handshake. She was ready for him, to the point that he had to add in another hand to avoid her pulling him instead.

Watch Biden’s face following the handshake (it’s right at the beginning of this link).
In case anybody is curious about the claim that October 23 is too late, I updated the Wikipedia page listing the past debates to include the date.

In general, the first debate takes place in late September or early October, and the final debate occurs in mid to late October with two or three debates being the norm. The first debate occurring in June is new this year as the debates normally start after the nominations are complete.
So, unsurprisingly, Trump’s argument has no historical basis and complaining that the debate is too close to the election is nonsense.
Hmm, it’s too late to have a debate but not too late to shove an unqualified ideologue into SCOTUS.
Got it.
