Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, backpedaled from a prospective debate with Democratic hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont on Friday, announcing the decision with a stinging statement that dismissed Sanders as an also-ran.
The candidates’ camps had been engaged in discussions with prospective hosts earlier in the week, but in his statement, Trump said it would be “inappropriate” to debate Sanders, who is on the verge of being formally eliminated by the Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton. Trump attributed Sanders’ likely defeat to a “rigged” Democratic primary process.
“Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and ‘Crooked’ Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second-place finisher,” Trump said.
Shortly after Trump announced his decision, Sanders was asked about the statement during a question-and-answer session at a campaign event in Los Angeles.
“That’s the first I heard (of it). I heard that he was going to debate me and then that he was not going to debate me. He was going to debate me again. I hope he changes his mind — again,” Sanders said of Trump. “He’s a big, tough guy. Mr. Trump, what are you afraid of?”
