Trump Dodging Harris, ABC Debate; Wants "Home Court" Advantage

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Trump wants nothing to do with VP Harris unless he gets a serious homecourt advantage - FOX "News."
51% : Instead of ABC, Trump wants his buddies over at FOX "News" to host a debate on September 4th that would be a big arena event - none of which matches with what was agreed upon initially.
48% : Well, it didn't take long for Trump to learn that his "cult leader" skills don't extend beyond his MAGA folk.
44% : Here's a look at the official statement that came out not long after Trump believed he had some kind of all-controlling power over how the debates go - making it clear that VVP Harris will be in front of ABC's cameras on September 10th, whether it's for a debate (if he shows up) or a town hall.
43% : Once that happened, the back-tracking and seesawing by Trump shifted into overdrive.
32% : When Trump and President Biden were finalizing details, FOX "News" and MSNBC were taken off the table as hosts - with the guideline being that only a network that hosted a 2016 Republican primary debate and a 2020 Democratic primary debate were eligible.
30% : Back in May, Trump and then-Democratic POTUS nominee and President Joseph Biden had agreed upon two debate dates - before either one of them was more than their party's respective nominees:
29% : And we all know by now that studio audiences were always going to be a line in the sand - and it was also a point that Trump agreed to (reportedly, in exchange for Trump not being fact-checked in real-time).
20% : For their part, VP Harris' campaign is calling out Trump for "running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out."
15% : First, Trump and his ilk attempted the old "she's not the party's official nominee" excuse to block the ABC debate - except President Biden also wasn't when the debate dates were initially announced.
8% : Now, they're claiming that Trump can't go on ABC because there would be a "conflict of interest" since Trump is in litigation with the network over comments made by This Week's George Stephanopoulos.
