Former President Donald Trump has recently asserted that he will be engaging in a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in the near future. During a half-hour interview on Fox News, Trump expressed his anticipation for the upcoming debate, mentioning ongoing negotiations between his campaign and network officials to finalize the details. While Trump has proposed a debate date of September 4 on Fox News, Harris and her team have countered with a suggestion for a faceoff on September 10, to be hosted by ABC News.

The agreement for the ABC debate was reportedly reached with President Joe Biden when he was still a candidate, prior to his withdrawal from the race in favor of Harris. Trump's assertion comes after his previous debate with Biden on June 27, which led to a notable shift in the Democratic ticket. The former president's lackluster performance in that debate prompted Biden's subsequent departure from the race, paving the way for Harris as the new frontrunner.

Amidst the continuing development of this race, Trump appeared on Fox & Friends, emphasizing his desire to engage in a debate with Harris, underscoring its importance for the country. He stated, "I want to debate her. I think it's important for the country that we debate." However, James Singer, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign, dismissed Trump's claims, asserting that he is simply afraid to debate. Singer pointed to Trump's alleged false attacks on Democrats during the Fox interview, characterizing his remarks as nothing but "chaos, hate, and anger."

As discussions between the two campaigns persist, it remains to be seen which network will ultimately host the highly anticipated debate between former President Trump and Vice President Harris. Both candidates appear determined to showcase their policy stances and engage in a spirited discussion on the pressing issues facing the nation. As the announcement of the debate draws near, the American public awaits an opportunity to witness this high-profile showdown between two prominent political figures.
