Huh? You obviously don’t understand. He is scared or making excuses to not debate Harris at all. I guess the irony of his objection flew right over your head lol.
Is that what you read in the article? All I saw was the objection to the plexiglass as unnecessary. I must have missed the part where he threatened to withdraw if he didn't get his way.
"'But most importantly the Vice President is looking forward to having a conversation about the marked shift left that Joe Biden wants to take this country, so we are not going to let a barrier prevent the Vice President from making the case for four more years of Donald Trump.'"
"The commission was prepared to allow Pence to participate in the debate without a plexiglass barrier around him, after the Pence team objected to its planned use. Even if Pence had followed through on that objection, however, Harris and the debate moderator would have been allowed to erect barriers separating them from the vice president."
"The commission member said the Pence team agreed Tuesday evening that 'if (Harris) feels safer having it up on her side, they will leave it up on his side.'"
I mean, that's most of the article right there. Maybe you can point out where it said, or even mildly implied, he was trying to chicken out of the debate? I know CNN is really good at implying and outright saying all sorts of bad stuff about conservatives, so I understand that you thought completely fabricating information along those lines would not be questioned.
