An MSNBC Panel on The Katie Phang Show called on Vice President Kamala Harris to make Donald Trump debate her at the original planned ABC News debate.

Over the weekend, Trump agreed to debate Harris with Fox News on Wednesday, September 4th, but backed out of their ABC News debate claiming it was originally scheduled against President Joe Biden.

An MSNBC panel hosted by Phang with guests Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Republican strategist Susan Del Percio who encouraged the likely Democratic nominee to force Trump to meet her at the ABC News debate.

PERCIO: He is scared of her. That’s why his attacks on her are basically hateful. I mean, there’s no substance to anything he has to say about the vice president. And let’s not forget now we’re going to have a candidate up there. We’re going to see two people debating. And I do believe she will debate him. And even if it means going to Fox, but she’s going to present a case and Donald Trump is going to be left stammering and wandering off and not finishing his sentences and talking about sharks and boats and who knows what. And I think he’s afraid of that comparison. Even if they both agree to a Fox debate. I still think, he says at the end of the day, I’m a no show.

PHANG: Look, Congresswoman, if I’m if I’m Kamala Harris, I say exactly what she’s done. Meet me at the one you agreed to do. Maybe she does the Fox one. She’s not required to do it. We’ve seen an unscripted Donald Trump that was NABJ. We see what it’s like. I mean, we also see when you have somebody like Harris Faulkner from Fox News who was very Trump friendly, kind of giving him the softballs for him to answer. He still digs himself into a hole. So do you think that there’s going to be a Fox hosted debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump?

PRESSLEY: I wouldn’t speculate on that, but I’ll say. Kamala Harris could debate Donald Trump, anywhere, at any time, and she will run circles around. He is no match, for her intellect and her preparedness or her vision for a more just America and the issue of reproductive freedom, abortion access and maternal justice. That is a winning issue for people from every walk of life. As you see, dads are organizing on behalf of their daughters. Women are organizing, young people are organizing. And Donald Trump and Project 2025 are active in a extremist march towards a ban on abortion, which is a nation of forced birth. What could be more violent than that? So he is he is no match for Kamala. And again, we’re going to go out here and do our job to build the broad and diverse winning coalition to ensure that we are successful in November.
