Democratic Representative Dan Goldman from New York exhibited a strong emotional reaction following a challenge from Fox News’ Bret Baier regarding his claim that former President Trump had not consented to debate Vice President Kamala Harris during a Monday segment of “Special Report.”
“If I’m Donald Trump, I understand why he doesn’t want to debate,” Goldman asserted.
“Well, he’s accepted three,” Baier rebutted. “He’s said yes to September 4th, September 10th, September 17th. He’s said yes to a lot of them, so it’s not that he’s obviously afraid to debate,” Baier continued.
“No no no,” Goldman sputtered. “No no no, he had agreed to September 10th on ABC,” he countered.
Rep. Goldman: “I understand why Donald Trump is afraid to debate.”
Baier: “He accepted three. September 4, September 10, September 17.”
Rep. Goldman: “NO NO NO.”

“With Biden, who got pushed out,” Baier answered.
“What’s the difference? Why should he not debate whoever the candidate is on September 10th as he agreed to, what is the difference between candidate Biden and candidate Harris?” Goldman asked.
“No, no, it’s fine, he said he would do it. I’m just saying he’s also agreed to other debates. You said he hasn’t agreed to others, he has. It’s the Kamala Harris campaign that hasn’t agreed on the other side,” Baier concluded.
Both campaigns have confirmed their participation in the ABC debate scheduled for September 10th, as reported by Ryan Klein, the Washington Bureau Chief of ABC News, in a tweet on Thursday.
