KAMALA Harris shouldn’t hesitate to take on Donald Trump on Fox News, says former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
Speculation about whether the two presidential candidates will debate has been mounting since Joe Biden dramatically dropped out of the race for a second term in July.

While Biden was still in raceTrump agreed to face the commander in chief on September 10, before taking a different tack when Harris became the nominee.
After initially pushing back, Trump and Harris agreed to debate on September 10.
But Trump proposed two debates on each side of the September 10 confrontation – one on Fox News on September 4th and another on NBC on September 25th.
Harris has not yet formally agreed to those races, but Scaramucci, who served in the Trump administration for 11 days in July 2017, urged the vice president to accept the Republican’s offer.

He believes Trump and Harris need to face each other.
“If I were Harris, I would debate him on Fox. No problem,” Scaramucci told The US Sun.
“Just debate him anywhere, anytime, anywhere.
“He will never be able to handle you in debate.”
Scaramucci said Harris would “pulverize” Trump in a confrontation, but warned that the Republican would appear weak if he backed out of a proposed debate.
He warned that Trump’s reputation would be damaged.
“He’s not stupid, so he knows he’s going to have to debate her,” Scaramucci added.
In the month following Biden’s decision, Harris enjoyed a honeymoon period in the polls.
As of August 15, she is the favorite to win the presidency, for Polymarket.
Harris has a 54% chance, while Trump has a 45% chance.
Who is Anthony Scaramucci?
Anthony Scaramucci served as Donald Trump’s White House Communications Director for just 11 days in the summer of 2017.
He held the position from July 20 to 31, 2017.
Scaramucci holds the record for being the shortest-tenured communications chief in White House history.
Before entering politics, Scaramucci worked in finance.
He studied at Harvard Law School and joined Goldman Sachs in 1989.
But Scaramucci was fired after just 18 months.
He was later rehired by the company and in 1993 he became vice president of the Private Wealth Management division.
Scaramucci founded venture capital firm Oscar Capital Management before launching SkyBridge Capital in 2005.
After serving in President Trump’s administration, Scaramucci frequently appears on networks like CNBC to discuss markets and the economy.
He also stars The rest is US policy podcast alongside renowned journalist Katty Kay.

On July 16, the market suggested that Trump had a 72% chance of winning. That was until Biden abandoned his campaign.
Harris is currently the favorite to hold on to some of the battlegrounds Democrats favor.
This includes Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.
But swing states across the Sun Belt — Georgia, Arizona and Nevada — remain up for grabs.
Arizona is on a knife’s edge, but Harris has a 52% chance of keeping Nevada, according to Polymarket.
CHANGE OF MOMENT
Harris is the overwhelming favorite to win the popular vote — but that doesn’t necessarily decide the presidency.
Trump ended up in the White House despite losing the popular vote against Hillary Clinton.
But speaking to The US Sun last week, Scaramucci said the election was Trump’s to lose.
“Trump should win the election,” he said.
“He would have demolished Joe Biden. But now the Democrats have a fighting chance and they certainly have a chance [the] vote.”
Before Biden wrapped up his re-election, fears were growing that the president’s continued campaign would impact candidates at the polls.
Reports on Daily Mail suggest that Trump could fire some of his staff as he tries to restart his presidential campaign.
Former Trump spokeswoman Sarah Matthews said MSNBCJen Psaki, the former president, fears the election may be slipping away.
On Thursday, Trump will hold a news conference at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Scaramucci said there is still enough time in the race for the polls to swing toward Trump, but said the Republican made a poor choice in nominating his running mate.
“He could restart the campaign. There is time to go here,” he added.
Scaramucci stated that there is a 50% chance that Trump will remove JD Vance from his ticket.
He said Harris picked the right running mate, Tim Walz.
TRUMP’S REMORSE?
But Scaramucci warns that if Trump replaces Vance with Nikki Haley, that combination could pose problems for Harris.
“We had the first presidential decision of the campaign: Trump chose the wrong vice-presidential candidate, she chose the right one,” Scaramucci said.
Scaramucci explained how Vance’s elimination could happen in real time.
He said Trump would wait until after the Democratic National Convention, starting next week.
“Trump knows they’re going to get his attention at the end of August,” he said.
“He needs to get the pop. He needs to get publicity.
Scaramucci warned that if Trump decides to abandon Vance, he must admit he made a bad move.
“I don’t know if he’s willing to do that,” he admitted.
“So he can just drag Vance along with him.”
There is no evidence to suggest that Trump is considering changing his running mate.
If I were Harris, I’d debate him on Fox. No problem.

Trump has stepped up his lines of attack against Harris as he tries to halt her momentum.
He repeatedly labeled the Democratic ticket radical and even labeled Harris and Walz “comrades.”
Trump warned that the Democratic ticket could turn the United States into a communist country.
During a conversation with Elon Musk this week, Trump stated that the US would not survive under a Harris administration.
Haley urged Trump to attack Harris on her policies rather than throw personal mockery.
“You can’t win at these things. The American people are smart. Treat them like they’re smart,” she said Fox News.
Harris hasn’t given an interview in over three weeks, and she and Walz are attacking the swing states.
AND, Really clear search suggests that Trump’s lead in the seven battlegrounds is very tenuous.
Harris is reportedly trying to rebrand and reduce healthcare costs and combat price gouging, by Axes.
She reportedly caught some Democrats cold by promising to eliminate tax in tips.
Republican critics claimed she had taken a page out of Trump’s playbook.
