“I think it’s very important to have debates, and we’ve agreed with Fox on a date of Sept. 4. We’ve agreed with NBC, fairly full agreement, subject to them on Sept. 10, and we’ve agreed with ABC on Sept. 25. So, we have those three dates,” Trump said at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

Trump proposes alternative election debate, Harris says no

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump proposed to debate Democratic U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News on Sept. 4, and the Harris campaign said Trump is trying to back out of a debate that had been set to run on ABC.

The rules would be similar to the first debate with President Joe Biden, who has since dropped his reelection bid, Trump said in a post, opens new tab on Truth Social late on Friday. But this time it would have a "full arena audience" and take place in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, Trump said.

Trump wavers on Harris debate, says he could ‘make a case’ for skipping

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Monday that while he “probably” will debate Vice President Kamala Harris, he could “also make a case” for avoiding a face-to-face confrontation with his likely Democratic opponent.

Trump, in a Fox News interview that aired Monday evening, did not initially say whether he would commit to a debate with Harris. And while he ultimately seemed to confirm that he was game, his answers left room for ambiguity.

Trump says he can ‘make a case’ for not debating Kamala Harris

During a sit-down interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham, former President Donald Trump said he is leaning toward debating Vice President Kamala Harris but “can also make a case for not doing it.” When President Joe Biden stepped out of the presidential race, and Harris immediately received the support of the majority of the delegates, Trump began to question having the next debate scheduled for Sept. 10 being hosted by “fake news” ABC News. Trump said he wouldn’t commit to a debate with Harris until she becomes the Democratic nominee,...

'Remarkable show of weakness': Trump buried for 'backpedaling' on debating Kamala Harris

Donald was subjected to widespread ridicule after apparently backing out of a with Vice President Kamala Harris. The former president insisted earlier this week, after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, that he wanted to go head-to-head with Harris, but his campaign Thursday that the scheduled September event hosted by ABC News would be put on hold until the Democratic Party formally chose a nominee.
