Former President Donald Trump is pushing for — and says he has already agreed to — a new presidential debate hosted by Fox News after citing former opponent Joe Biden‘s absence as one of the reasons for him not proceeding with a previously scheduled ABC News debate.
As the new Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris has since announced her intention to stick to the Sept. 10 debate on ABC News — previously announced in May between Trump and Biden before he dropped out — even if Trump doesn’t show up.
In the late hours of Friday, Aug. 2, the Republican candidate, 78, announced on his Truth Social platform that he “agreed” with Fox News to debate Harris, 59, on Sept. 4. In the post, he claimed his ABC News debate was “terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant.” Fox News had previously invited Trump and Harris to debate on Sept. 17.
