Vice President Kamala Harris is planning to show up for the previously agreed-upon debate set for September 10 on ABC – even if Donald Trump does not

the debate he already agreed to
The vice president will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience
Image being so fucking treacherous that you play taksie-backsies with the presidential candidate elected by your party just a few months before the election because he turned out to be incredibly unpopular, only to turn around and claim that the opponent isn't showing up to an agreed-on debate when he clearly didn't agree to it.
For that matter, if ABC gives Kamala airtime alone it should be treated as the campaign contribution that it is.
Saying you don't trust the security sounds weak; going back to Butler PA is a power move.
Trump will use being shot where it's most effective, in Pennsylvania. When he goes back there the assassination attempt will be all over the local news, but if he's saying 'oh no I was shot poor me' all the time it will turn whiny.
It's PR, it's not about actual risk assessment or being honest. Anyway, Butler PA is probably one of the safest places in the country for him atm.
He can go where he wants, but the point is that whenever Kamala suggests he goes anywhere, he should respond 'oh look she's trying to kill me.'
