Vice President Kamala Harris declined to provide a definitive answer to a question posed by CNN regarding her commitment to participating in three debates against former President Donald Trump in September. The scheduled debate between Harris and Trump is set to take place on ABC on September 10, following an announcement made by the former president during a news conference where he confirmed his agreement to participate in this debate as well as two others.
It remains uncertain whether Harris will be present at the additional debates mentioned by Trump during his announcement. Harris chose to deflect most inquiries from various reporters, including CNN, while interacting with them along the ropeline after a campaign event held in Detroit.
The ongoing disagreement between the two candidates has been evident for several weeks. Initially, Harris had agreed to the ABC debate scheduled for September 10, a debate that had also been accepted by Trump and former President Joe Biden before Biden withdrew from the race. Trump had recently stated that he would not engage in a debate with Harris unless she confirmed her attendance at the proposed debate on September 4.
