Former President Donald Trump said he would take part in a proposed Sept. 4 Fox News Channel debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. But Harris has other plans.
Former President Donald Trump said he would take part in a proposed Sept. 4 Fox News Channel debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” Trump said Friday night in a post on his Truth Social platform. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.”
ABC News was originally scheduled to host a Sept. 10 debate between Trump and President Joe Biden before Biden ended his 2024 presidential run.
According to Trump’s Truth Social post, he said the debate would be held in Pennsylvania, “at a site in an area to be determined.”
But in a statement to CBS News, the Harris campaign said Trump “needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept. 10.”
