On September 4, Republican candidate for president Donald Trump suggested having a debate with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News. However, the Harris campaign retorted that Trump was attempting to back out of an already scheduled debate on ABC.
Trump stated late on Friday in a post on Truth Social that the guidelines would be similar to the first debate with President Joe Biden, who has since withdrawn his reelection bid. However, Trump announced that it will be held in Pennsylvania, a battleground state, with a “full arena audience” this time.
Both Trump and Biden had consented to a rematch on September 10 on ABC News; however, the former president had recommended that the debate be shifted to Fox, which is the network that his supporters prefer.
After obtaining the necessary number of delegates’ votes on Friday to officially become the Democratic nominee for the Nov. 5 election, Harris announced on Saturday that she would participate in the debate as originally scheduled.
“Interesting how ‘any time, any place’ turns into ‘one specific time, one specific safe space,'” she posted on social media platform X. “As promised, I’ll be there on September 10. Hopefully, he’ll be there.”
Michael Tyler, a spokesman for Harris, claimed that Trump was “running scared” and that her campaign was open to discussing additional debates following the one on September 10 that “both campaigns have already agreed to.
