US 2024: Trump accepts presidential debate with Kamala Harris
Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has agreed to an offer from Fox News to hold a presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on September 4.
This will be the first time that Trump and Harris will be a part of a presidential debate since President Joe Biden withdrew himself from the race after growing pressure from Democrats who flagged his age and mental acuity concerns following his lacklusture debate performance against Trump in June.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the presidential debate against Harris will be held in Pennsylvania. He also asserted that the debate should be held in front of a “full-arena audience” unlike the June debate hosted by CNN, which had no spectators.
“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4. The debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant… The Fox News debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined,” he said.
“The moderators of the debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the rules will be similar to the rules of my debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!” he added.
