Vice President Kamala Harris rejects Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' invitation to debate slavery, stating that there were no redeeming qualities of slavery. DeSantis had challenged Harris to discuss the state's Black history guidelines, which she had criticized as "propaganda" and "lies." Harris refuses to engage in unnecessary debates and accuses the curriculum of attempting to gaslight and divide the nation. DeSantis defends the standards, claiming that some slaves developed skills that benefited them later in life. Black Republicans, including Senator Tim Scott, criticize DeSantis' comments, while Harris declines the invitation and calls out his attempt to score political points.
