He briefly removed his initial post about the debate before reposting it, with the only change being the deletion of his proposal for a major town hall event on the same date. Trump suggested the town hall in case Harris was “unwilling or unable” to participate in the debate.The decision follows <a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/kamala-harris-meme-coin-soars-after-joe-bidens-departure/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kamala Harris’s Democratic nomination after President Biden</a> withdrew from the race on July 21 and endorsed her. <a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/kamala-harris-responds-to-bidens-exit-a-look-at-her-career-and-running-mates/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Harris responded</a> positively to the debate proposal from Fox News last month, expressing her readiness to participate.Biden’s withdrawal and endorsement of Harris shifted the dynamics within the Democratic Party.

Trump cited recent poll results as his reason for reluctance, suggesting that a debate might not be necessary given his strong poll numbers.In a Fox Business Network interview, Trump expressed a mixed stance on the debate, saying, “Well, I want to,” but quickly questioned the need, asking, “Why should I do a debate?” He noted that the public is already well-acquainted with both himself and Harris, implying that a debate might not add much value.Currently, Trump holds a narrow 1.1% lead over Harris in poll data from 97 surveys. His recent favorable comments about cryptocurrency have also contributed to a boost in his popularity.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/8d1780a51d184fbeae8c05114c59c10a.png" />Important: Please note that this article is only meant to provide information and should not be taken as legal, tax, investment, financial, or any other type of advice.Join Cryptos Headlines <a href="https://linktr.ee/cryptosheadlines.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Community</a>Follow Cryptos Headlines on <a href="https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMLz3-wowvuzoAg" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Google News</a>
