Harris in Ga. Tues.; Trump here Sat.

(FROM GEORGIA NEWS NETWORK) – Vice President Kamala Harris is daring Donald Trump to debate her.

The Democratic presidential candidate spoke at a campaign rally Tuesday in front of about 10,000 supporters in Atlanta, and said Trump won’t debate her, but “he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me.”

Trump was set to debate Joe Biden September 10 on ABC before the President dropped out of the race. The Republican candidate told Fox News on Monday that he wanted to debate Harris but could make a case for not doing it. He had previously said he would debate Harris on September 10, but not on ABC.

Meanwhile, Trump and running mate JD Vance will be in Georgia this weekend for their first joint rally here. It will be held at the Georgia State University Convocation Center on Saturday.
