He's just planning to push the "Rigged Election" line. Between his obvious insistence that the votes were rigged and now his inevitable claims that "They even had the debate without me," all of his shitty energy is going to be channeled into fabricating a casus belli for his next attempted Insurrection.
Make it public and clear ahead of time when and where the debate is, and what the rules are. When he doesn't show just ask Kamala the questions, and when it's Trump's turn repeat that he has chosen not to attend but if he shows up he'll be brought on stage immediately for the rest of the debate.
Yes, he's going to lie about it, but anyone who blindly believes his lies won't be reached anyway.
Afterwards he'll probably try to have his own private "debate" on Faux news, which is where the clear public information ahead of time matters. So that if Trump "invites Kamala" but tries to impose unfair rules it is easily called out.
It would be very funny to see them try to J6 when there's an actual defensive perimeter set up with no orders to fuck around and let them freely roam the capital.
I think a lot of people are forgetting about this. Part of why J6 even got off the ground is because the POTUS and various other officials were complicit. Not so this time.
