Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced late Friday that he has agreed with Fox News to debate Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on September 4.
“I have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. However, it was not immediately clear if Harris had agreed to the debate.
Trump’s announcement came just hours after Harris secured the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination for the upcoming November election.
Trump’s campaign took a significant turn on July 21 when President Biden, 81, withdrew his candidacy due to growing concerns about his age and declining poll numbers, and endorsed Harris.
Biden decided to bow out following a poor debate performance against Trump in June on CNN.
A second Trump-Biden televised debate had been scheduled for September 10 on ABC television. It was expected to proceed with Harris replacing Biden, but Trump’s spokesman Steven Cheung last week called it “inappropriate” to schedule it before Harris was formally the Democratic nominee.
In his post, Trump provided details of the debate venue and moderators, stating that it would be held before a full audience.
