BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): We know this, there was a little switch at the top of the democratic ticket. I don't know if you heard over two weeks ago.
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): It was a Fox News alert.
BRIAN KILMEADE: And do you know that right now Democrats do not have a nominee, so why is the pressure suddenly on Donald Trump to commit to debating whoever that nominee might be, because we know Democrats pulled off a huge surprise two and a half weeks ago when they suddenly realized Joe Biden was too old, and was not going to get reelected, and they threw him in the street. They knocked him into the gutter. And now that there has been a switch at the top, Donald Trump is getting pressure to sign up for a debate that was agreed upon with Joe Biden.
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): When he interviewed with Laura the other day, he said I will probably end up debating but, first of all, we don't know who is actually running. She is not the official nominee yet. No idea who her VP is going to be and probably won't find out until next week. He didn't want to do it on ABC, he called it fake ABC. So he'll probably end up debating, they're both probably going to be running for president, so chill out, everybody.
