Donald Trump says he 'probably' will debate Kamala Harris but 'can also make a case for not'
Donald Trump on Monday seemed to back away from his earlier commitment to debate Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning the value of a meetup and saying he “probably” will debate but he “can also make a case for not doing it.” Trump, in an interview with Fox News Channel that aired Monday night, was pressed several times about committing to debating Harris before giving a squishier answer than he had in recent days. The Republican former president had been eager to debate President Joe Biden when he was the Democratic nominee after months of suggesting that Biden was not mentally up for the matchup — or the presidency.

NC Gov. Cooper opted out of Harris VP vetting, in part over worry about GOP lieutenant: AP sources
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper opted not to be a candidate in Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate search in part due to concerns that his Republican lieutenant governor would try to assume control if he left the state to campaign as part of the Democratic ticket, according to three people familiar with the matter. Cooper confirmed in a statement Monday night that he would not be a candidate to be Harris' vice president, saying he was “honored” to be considered but “this just wasn't the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket.” The governor, 67, withdrew from contention well before Harris' vetting process began and never submitted the requisite material, according to two of the people.
