US presidential candidate Donald Trump mocked fellow candidate Kamala Harris after she withdrew from the Fox News debate, according to Politico.
On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump launched a barrage of insults at Harris. He claimed that the Democrat allegedly has a "low IQ" and lacks the "mental capacity" to debate him, calling her "dumb."
"I'll see her on September 4 or, I won't see her at all," the Republican wrote, referring to the planned debate date.
Trump reiterated his statement at a rally in Georgia: "We’re doing one with Fox, if she shows up. I don’t think she’s going to show up."
He also remarked that Harris "can read from a teleprompter" but cannot speak live on air.
Background
US presidential candidate Donald Trump agreed to hold a pre-election debate with Kamala Harris, who was selected as the Democratic candidate.
Trump stated that the debate was scheduled for September 4 on the Fox News channel, which is friendly to him.
However, Harris declined to participate in the debate on Trump's terms. She announced that she would attend a debate on ABC on September 10. An ABC News representative could not confirm any details.
