"Agree to both, with ABC debate first to prevent Trump from pulling a fast one" [View all]

Reacting to the past two weeks as the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris has energized the Democratic base and seemingly caught Donald Trump's campaign flatfooted, a former GOP lawmaker claimed the former president is terrified by what the future may hold.

Appearing on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon with host Alex Witt, ex-Rep Dave Jolly (R-FL) claimed the ex-president's campaign continues to show it is in disarray as his inner circle tries to push for an alternative debate hosted by Fox News instead of one already slated for ABC.

Agreeing with his fellow panelists that there could be two debates, Jolly suggested Harris should agree to doing both, but with the Fox News event second to prevent the embattled former president from pulling a fast one and canceling the ABC appearance.
