Trump and Harris to Face Off in September Debate

Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he will debate Kamala Harris on Fox News on Sept. 4, although the Harris campaign hasn't confirmed. The announcement follows Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race, endorsing Harris. Fox News has yet to comment on the event.

In a recent post on Truth Social, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump declared plans to debate Democratic U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News on September 4. However, the Harris campaign has not confirmed this event.

'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,' said Trump, referring to President Joe Biden, who has since exited the race and endorsed Harris. The Harris campaign withheld comment, and Fox News did not immediately respond to requests for confirmation.

Trump's statement emerged following the Democratic National Committee's recent ad campaign accusing him of avoiding debates due to his stance on abortion. After Biden withdrew on July 21 and backed Harris, Trump initially refused to participate, citing Harris was not the official candidate. On Friday, Harris secured the delegate votes needed for the Democratic nomination. Trump's post was briefly taken down, removing his town hall proposal if Harris was 'unwilling or unable to debate'.

Last month, Harris openly accepted a debate proposal from Fox News scheduled for September 17. Trump mentioned that the Pennsylvania event would have a full arena audience, unlike his previous debate with Biden, which had no in-house audience.
