Trump Proposes Alternate Debate Amid Harris Campaign Pushback

Donald Trump has suggested switching an upcoming debate with Kamala Harris from ABC to Fox News, claiming it would have a full arena audience in Pennsylvania. Harris, however, intends to stick to the original debate plans on ABC. The Harris campaign accused Trump of dodging the initial agreement.

Donald Trump has proposed moving an upcoming debate with Kamala Harris from ABC to Fox News, aiming for a full arena audience in Pennsylvania. The event, initially set for ABC News, was agreed upon by both candidates, but Trump cited issues with litigation as a reason for the move.

Harris, who recently secured the Democratic nomination, said she will attend the originally scheduled debate on September 10, criticizing Trump's shift as a way to back out. Her campaign accused Trump of being "running scared" and expressed readiness for further debates post-September 10.

Polls indicate a tight race between Harris and Trump, who previously had a larger lead over Biden. Both Fox News and Trump’s campaign have not commented on the change, while the Democratic National Committee criticized Trump's reluctance to debate.
