Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that she hopes former President Donald Trump will meet her on the debate stage later this year despite his apparent efforts to skip out on those plans now that shes the Democrats presumptive nominee to face him in November.

Harris rallied a crowd of 10,000 supporters in Atlanta on Tuesday, her first visit to Georgia after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and cleared the way for her campaign.

This is a people-powered campaign, in fact the momentum in this race is shifting, and there are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it, the vice president said. You may have noticed.

Trump has now repeatedly expressed doubt about participating in the next debate, scheduled for Sept. 10 on ABC News. And while he said Monday he would probably debate Harris at some point, he added that everybody knows who I am , suggesting a debate appearance may not benefit him.

In Atlanta, Harris hit the former president for backing out of those plans, repeating her ding that Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, were just plain weird and had a lot to say about me.

Heres the funny thing about that, Harris said. So he wont debate, but he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me.
