Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has called for a debate with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News, which she claimed was an attempt to back out of an already scheduled ABC debate.

Trump's proposal for a full arena audience debate in Pennsylvania, akin to his debate with President Joe Biden, has drawn criticism from Harris, who vowed to stick to the original plan and accused Trump of seeking a safer platform. Harris' team perturbed by Trump's unwillingness to adhere to prior agreements, insists on further debates post-September 10.

Campaign tensions rose with Trump's continued personal attacks on Harris and Georgia Republicans, despite warnings from party leaders. Meanwhile, polls reflect a close contest between Trump and Harris, intensifying the campaign narratives.
