Former President Donald Trump agrees to debate Harris

According to ABC News, former President Donald Trump says he has agreed to an offer from ABC News to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Sept. 10.


He said so during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago Club on Thursday.


“I think it’s very important to have debates,” Trump said Thursday. “I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight.”


The Harris campaign had no immediate comment.




Trump proposed three debates with the Democratic rival.


Trump had previously stated that he was willing to debate President Joe Biden and had accepted ABC's initial invitation issued in May. However, after Biden withdrew from the race last month, and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Trump implied that he would not debate Harris on ABC.


Harris has accused Trump of "running scared" and trying to back out of the debate.
