A 2011 clip surfaced Thursday by CNN shows Donald Trump denigrating debate dodging candidates, and both presidential campaigns issued dueling responses — with Kamala Harris' team jabbing the former president using his own words for refusing to agree to a second debate.

CNN's KFile uncovered a Dec. 9, 2011, interview between Trump and Don Imus, a former host on Fox Business, in which Trump attacked some candidates for not having the "courage" to debate.

Donald Trump’s appearance at the Al Smith dinner Thursday night will come with an ironic twist, according to a prominent New York Times reporter who has covered the former president extensively for years.

Maggie Haberman, a CNN political analyst and reporter at the Times, said Trump would seize the opportunity “to make all kinds of jokes at the expense of some of the people sitting in the room with him” while in New York for the dinner that raises money for charity.

Former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA) opened up to MSNBC's Ari Melber on Thursday about why she is enthusiastically backing Vice President Kamala Harris for president — her first time going for the Democratic ticket — and outlined why, despite Harris' liberal beliefs, traditional, conservative Republicans would have a lot to like in a Harris administration, even beyond desires to dethrone former President Donald Trump from their party's leadership.

This comes after Harris has spent weeks pushing to win support and endorsements from Republicans in battleground states, culminating this week in a massive Republicans for Harris event in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania.

Former President Donald Trump is taking the stage again Thursday night — this time for comedy.

Trump plans to speak at the annual Al Smith charity dinner beginning at 7:15 p.m. Eastern Time. Vice President Kamala Harris will not attend in person, according to The Associated Press, but will appear on a recorded video.

At the top of her Thursday episode of "Deadline: White House," host Nicolle Wallace highlighted the Latino town hall hosted by Univision on Wednesday night, which featured largely undecided voters.

It was just another of Trump's bad appearances, Wallace pointed out.

CNN hosts broke out in guffaws Friday as a reporter described how his search to find a “Swiss-made” watch linked to Donald Trump led him to the maker of a honey which is laced with Viagra.

The network's Steve Contorno described how the search for the watch that Trump’s campaign is hawking for up to $100,000 didn’t take him to Switzerland, but instead to a Wyoming shopping mall — and a company called TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC.

Donald Trump took part in a town hall on Wednesday with Univision as part of his campaign’s effort to reach Latino voters. The crowd was made up of undecided registered voters, some of whom didn't speak English.

Among them was Ramiro González, a 56-year-old construction worker who lives in Tampa, Florida, and who asked Trump a question about the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol building.

Reacting to reports that Donald Trump is allegedly trying to buy the silence of adult film star Stormy Daniels again, former SDNY prosecutor Kristy Greenberg claimed the former president may have very good reasons to be alarmed.

With the election less than three weeks away, NBC is reporting that Trump's legal team reached out Trump's one-time paramour during the summer and offered a deal if she stayed out of the headlines before voters go to the polls.

Daniels is currently on the hook for a substantial payout to Trump after being ordered to pay his legal fees after losing a defamation case and, as NBC News is reporting, Trump's legal team wrote to her lawyer and offered, "...we can agree to settle these matters for $620,000, provided that your client agrees in writing to make no public or private statements related to any alleged past interactions with President Trump, or defamatory or disparaging statements about him, his businesses and/or any affiliates or his suitability as a candidate for President.”

Speaking with MSNBC host Ana Cabrera, Greenberg laughed and explained, "It's déjà vu all over again –– the man never learns."

"So what I think may actually be going on here, there was a really interesting filing during the course of this trial, where essentially the prosecutor said, yes, that Stormy Daniels testimony was cringe, there was a lot of detail there, but we didn't even get to the most embarrassing stuff. We were restrained when we put her on the stand."

"And so there's a filing, a report under seal, that has all that embarrassing detail, and I guess that is maybe what Donald Trump does not want Stormy Daniels to talk about," she suggested.

Donald Trump, courting Latino voters, appeared at a Univision-hosted town hall in Doral, Florida Wednesday where he repeated many of his familiar lies to undecided Hispanic voters. With less than three weeks to Election Day, Trump disparaged Haitian immigrants, and called for the deportation of undocumented workers who harvest food for the country while claiming they were taking jobs from Black and Hispanic workers. Trump at times seemed either unwilling or unable to provide answers to their questions.

Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language television network, reported (via a Google translation), "the former president did not answer several of the questions posed to him by the participants, Hispanic voters who define themselves as undecided and were randomly selected for this program. Some of these questions were tough, such as when one wanted to know if, with all the evidence that exists, he still believes that climate change is a hoax or if Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, eat their neighbors' pets."

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance was "fired up" Thursday as he insisted Republicans "get to say whatever the hell we want."

At a campaign rally in Pittsburgh, Vance complained that his party had been called racist for attacking migrants.

After a series of rallies, town halls and interviews, Donald Trump's campaign is dropping out of a number of speaking engagements, including withdrawing his speech to the friendly National Rifle Association audience.

The co-hosts of "The View" think that it's all out of fear.
