Mary L. Trump, the niece of former President Donald Trump, continued to voice her disapproval in her most recent email newsletter, calling her uncle a “monumental coward” in contrast to Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Her remarks came after Trump appeared to have rescheduled a presidential debate from September 10th to September 4th with Fox News.
“Since Vice President Harris became the Democratic nominee eleven days (!) ago, Donald’s polling lead has evaporated. In the same amount of time, Harris more than doubled his fundraising for the entire month of July; and, probably the thing that is most driving his flailing rage, he has taken a back seat to the black woman who has all of the energy, enthusiasm, and youth on her side,” Mary mockingly wrote about her uncle.
According to HuffPost, Mary drew parallels between Trump’s rallies and Harris’ charismatic presence. She described the Republican leader’s speeches as “boring re-runs—grievance-filled rants and incomprehensible non-sequiturs,” while praising Harris’ political gatherings as “packed-to-the-rafters celebrations in which she not only lays out a comprehensive, optimistic, and forward-looking vision for our country, but also calls Donald out for his cowardice, his cruelty, and his criminality.”
Mary also criticized Trump’s recent remarks at the National Association for Black Journalists (NABJ) convention. “He could not contain his contempt for the professional women of color who dared interview him with the expectation that he should answer their questions,” Mary wrote. Trump falsely claimed that Harris was now relying on her Black ethnicity for political gain, having previously only acknowledged her Indian heritage.
“It’s not that we didn’t already know the extent of Donald’s racism and misogyny, but to see how quickly he became incapable of controlling himself, of modulating his responses, of pretending, was quite something. He positively seethed,” she added. The Trump and Harris camps have been strategizing over the next presidential debate. The Harris campaign pushed for a debate on ABC News on September 10th, the same time slot previously allotted for President Joe Biden and Trump.
Conversely, the GOP nominee advocated for a debate on Fox News on September 4th, claiming that Biden’s withdrawal from the race “terminated” the ABC debate. According to BBC, Trump announced on Truth Social that he has agreed to Fox News’ suggestion for a debate, likely to take place in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state. He also mentioned that the moderators would be Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier, with the same guidelines as his debate with Biden.
“If for any reason Kamala is unwilling or unable to debate on that date, I have agreed with Fox to do a major Town Hall on the same September 4th evening,” he wrote. However, Harris’ campaign refused his challenge, accusing him of “running scared” and relying on Fox News to “bail him out.” “He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10,” said Michael Tyler, the campaign communications director. Harris reaffirmed her commitment on social media, stating, “It’s interesting how ‘any time, any place’ becomes ‘one specific time, one specific safe space’. I’ll be there on September 10th, like he agreed to.”
