Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will not debate the presumptive Democrat nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a statement, the Trump campaign said Trump will not debate Harris until she is the official Democratic nominee.
The campaign is concerned that the Democrats might switch out Harris for another candidate during the Democratic National Convention in August.
In the statement, the Trump campaign wrote, “Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, general elections debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee.”
The statement continued, “There is a strong sense by many in the Democratic Party – namely Barack Hussein Obama – that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone “better.”
“Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds.”
The statement sparked joy among Democrats who say Trump is “scared” to debate Harris.

The Trump campaign issued the statement after The New York Post reported Wednesday that former President Barack Obama didn’t think Harris could beat Trump.

“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” a Biden family source told The New York Post.
“Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.”
The source said Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is Obama’s choice for president.
However, the Obamas endorsed Harris in a post on X on Thursday. Obama said that he and his wife Michelle are “going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November.”
“Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend Kamala Harris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support,” he wrote.
“At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.”
He's gonna learn the hard way that both Biden and Obama chose her long ago.

It’s the right move. Michelle will be the nominee.

Of wasting more time and money on a candidate that isn’t the chosen candidate (yet).
He’s smart to wait until the DNC is over and Kamala is the new chosen one.
