Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says he has agreed to an offer from Fox News to hold a debate with presumptive Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, the Harris campaign says it will stick to the original plan for an ABC News debate.
In the post, former President Trump said the purported Fox News debate would be on Sept. 4. "I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest," he said. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/donald-trump-kamala-harris-debate-fox-news-abc-news/ Trump has a point. |

Trump's excuse doesn't even make sense. The conflict didn't change because Biden is not the nominee, but he had no problem before?
They should both honor the September 8 debate on ABC. No fox debate please. |

“I’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at all,” the former president wrote Saturday on his Truth Social platform.
Trump doubled down on that pronouncement at his rally Saturday evening in Georgia, telling attendees, “We’re doing one with Fox, if she shows up.” “I don’t think she’s going to show up,” he added, claiming the vice president “can read a teleprompter” but can’t speak off the cuff. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/08/03/politics/kamala-harris-donald-trump-debate |

Will there be a live audience at the debate?
There will be no live audience, a request from Biden’s campaign to avoid giving Trump the chance to play to the crowd. How will microphone control work during the debate? To prevent interruptions, candidates' microphones will be muted when it isn't their turn to speak, an effort to curb Trump's tendency to interrupt. https://www.fox7austin.com/news/biden-trump-debate-rules-2024.amp The Biden-Trump debate had rules Biden insisted upon; Trump should not be held to any rules he negotiated with Biden. Step up Kamala. Show us you are not afraid. |

Agree. If fox wanted to hold debates they should not have lied about the last election and had to pay out that huge settlement. They are proven liers and have no business holding a presidential debate. |

He can't debate without interrupting and a live audience? Then he should find a different job then being president. |

Why won’t Kamala commit to the debate? |

If he can't handle it can't handle it. Let the poor old man stay home and Harris can use the time for her own messaging. |

She did but not on lying Fox. They do not get to spew lies about the 2020 election and then get a debate for 2024. Lying actually has consequences. |

She has. Why did Donald make up a new date and rules, which weren’t even in the Fox proposal for septemver 10? Another sign of his dementia that he couldn’t even read the Fox letter correctly. |

| That’s not how debates are “agreed” upon. No shit Trump wants a FOX event with his hosts and his crowd. This is the proposal of a loser who knows he can’t handle an honest debate. |

ATLANTA, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump proposed to debate Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News on Sept. 4, but the Harris campaign countered that Trump was trying to back out of a debate that had already been set to run on ABC.
The rules would be similar to the first debate with President Joe Biden, who has since dropped his reelection bid, Trump said in a post, opens new tab on Truth Social late on Friday. But this time it would have a "full arena audience" and take place in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, Trump said. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/donald-trump-agrees-with-fox-news-debate-kamala-harris-sept-4-2024-08-03/ |
