Trump Backs Out of September 10th ABC Debate, Proposes September 4th Fox News Debate with Harris

Aug 3, 2024, 02:10 PM

Former President Donald Trump has backed out of a previously scheduled ABC debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on September 10th, proposing instead to debate her on Fox News on September 4th. Trump cited the need for different terms, including a packed arena audience, as reasons for the change. The Harris campaign has accused Trump of being 'too scared' to debate on neutral grounds and insists that he should adhere to the original ABC debate agreement. Harris has not agreed to the new Fox News debate terms, leading to a standoff between the two campaigns. The original debate was scheduled with Joe Biden, who has since dropped out of the race.
