You have to vote on Nov. 5. After that, you don’t have to worry about voting anymore. I don’t care, because we’re going to fix it. The country will be fixed and we won’t even need your vote anymore, because frankly we will have such love, if you don’t want to vote anymore, that’s OK.” Meanwhile, Trump suggested that he would “probably end up debating” Kamala Harris but that he “could also make a case for not doing it.” His comments come after his campaign said it wouldn’t commit to any future debates until the Democratic Party formally chooses a nominee, promoting Harris to accuse Trump of “backpedaling” on a debate.

[Over the weekend](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/07/28/us/harris-trump-election), Kamala Harris said Trump’s and Vance’s “wild lies about my record [...] is just plain weird.” [And](https://www.salon.com/2024/07/29/old-and-quite-weird-democrats-finally-discover-new-effective--and-hate-it/), in a press release titled “Statement on a 78-Year-Old Criminal’s Fox News Appearance,” the Harris campaign noted that Trump had "Praised dictators because he wants to be one; Trump is clearly worried he made the wrong pick in JD Vance; Trump is old and quite weird?" The line of attack is credited to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, who first said "these guys are just weird" in response to Trump’s [repeated praise](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-hannibal-lecter-rant-origin.html) of the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter and how – [hypothetically](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/26/trump-shark-ev-boat-electrocution/) – he’d prefer electrocution to a shark encounter if his electric boat sank. Meanwhile, failed Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said “this whole ‘they’re weird’ argument from the Democrats is dumb & juvenile,” to which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [responded](https://newrepublic.com/post/184355/aoc-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-republican-reaction-kamala-harris-weird-trump-attack): “It’s an incel platform, dude. It’s SUPER weird. And people need to know.” [Elsewhere](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/29/jd-vance-kamala-harris-campaign/), Vance characterized the emergence of Harris’s campaign as a “political sucker punch."
