Trump declines ABC debate with Harris, proposes Fox News alternative
Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he will not attend a scheduled debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC set for September 10. Instead, he expressed a preference to debate her on Fox News on September 4. This decision marks a significant shift in his campaign strategy, as he aims to engage with Harris in a different format and platform.
Harris’s campaign responded to Trump’s withdrawal by suggesting that he may be avoiding the debate due to fear. They emphasized that Trump is attempting to dictate the terms of the debate, which they view as a sign of weakness. Harris remains committed to the original debate date on ABC, underscoring her readiness to confront Trump directly.
As the political landscape evolves, both candidates are gearing up for a competitive race, with Harris focusing on her campaign efforts in battleground states while Trump seeks to maintain his influence and momentum ahead of the election
