    This is a weird way to say “Trump backs out of debating Harris on ABC”.

      NYT are fools for using that headline. Their journalists, or editor, obscured the facts with that one. “Updated” headline (not joking):

      Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

        The biggest issue is many people will have only seen the first headline and not the update. They got inaccurate information and it won’t be corrected, and the NYT is to blame.

        “Cancels” is the wrong verb again. ABC can cancel it, Trump can only decide not to show. ABC and Kamala can go ahead and have a debate with the audience or even put a cardboard cut out in his place and play random quotes he’s made and let Kamala disagree with them. ABC would get views and advertising revenue.

        The right neutral verb phrase there is “backs out of”. The one I would pick is “shirks” or “fears”
