During a town hall, Donald Trump signaled that South Carolina Senator Tim Scott could be a potential running mate in 2024.
Trump praised Scott profusely, pointing him out in the audience and saying many people are talking about him as vice president.
“You have to have somebody that would be a good president. A lot of people are talking about that gentleman over there,” Trump said.
“He’s been so great, such a great advocate. Tim Scott, he has been better for me than for himself. I watched his campaign and he doesn’t like talking about himself, he talks about Trump. I said, Tim, you are better for me than for yourself. He’s fantastic and a fantastic person,” Trump added.
“I said, don’t ever do it. It would’ve never happened, by the way. It would’ve never happened,” Trump said.
“We’re going to get into that in a minute, but back to Biden and his current state, whatever you want to call it. Will you challenge him to regular debates?” Ingraham asked.
“Yeah,” Trump cut in.
“Regardless of the concern about the moderators? I know that’s always annoying. I will be happy to moderate one, by the way. Would you challenge him?” Ingraham asked.
Trump challenged Joe Biden to a series of debates on specific policy topics like foreign policy or energy.
When asked by Laura Ingraham, Trump said he would debate Biden regardless of poll numbers and that as many debates as necessary should be held.
“Well, I’ll do it right now on your show. I will challenge him right now. We can do you. You can do anybody you want. I will take anybody from CNN, which is doing very poorly in the ratings, by the way, as you probably know. I’ll take anybody because I think you have an obligation in this case. You really have an obligation to debate,” Trump said.
“When it came to the Republicans, I was up by 40, 50, 60 points, like being up on her, I think a poll just came out, I’m at 91 and she is at 7. And would you debate? You want to be smart. You don’t have to waste your time.”
“But that would be instructive to see you vs. Biden on any given topic,” Ingraham said.
“Regardless of poll numbers, I’m way up on him now in the polls. Frankly, I think we have an obligation. When you have the final Republican, the final Democrat, you have the two people, you have to debate regardless of polls,” Trump said.
“How many debates would you commit to?” Ingraham asked.
He doesn’t think Biden will accept because in their 2020 debate, Biden admitted Trump was right about issues like energy policy.
Trump closed by saying the country cannot allow Biden to win reelection.
“As many as necessary. I would like to do it starting now. I don’t think he is going to debate, though. I really don’t think so. We had a debate where he at the end of the debate, he admitted I was right about almost everything, but in particular on energy. Do you remember? I said feel like Perry Mason the way you just collapsed,” Trump said.
“He admitted everything about energy and that’s what actually happened and that’s why your energy costs went up three and four times. We had $1.87 and he was up to $5, $6, $7. And that’s going to happen immediately after the election. Let’s not even talk about if he wins. We can’t allow him to win. We are not going to have a country left.”
