Senator JD Vance, a Republican from Ohio, recently praised former President Trump's proposal to debate Vice President Kamala Harris in September as a strategic move. Vance referred to Trump's offer as a 'masterstroke' during an interview on SiriusXM's 'Breitbart News Saturday.'
Vance expressed his support for the idea, stating, 'I think it's great.' He highlighted the significance of the debate offer by pointing out that the Kamala Harris campaign had previously accused Trump of being afraid to debate her. Vance dismissed these claims as 'absurd' and referenced a past debate where the opposing nominee withdrew shortly after facing Trump.
Notably, President Biden withdrew from the presidential race and endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee following a lackluster debate performance in late June that raised concerns among Democrats.
