Former President Donald Trump has announced that he will be participating in a debate hosted by Fox News on September 4, replacing the previously agreed-upon debate hosted by ABC. The new debate is set to take place in Pennsylvania with a live audience and will be moderated by Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, stating that the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris was scheduled after President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, withdrew from the debate. Trump expressed his excitement for the upcoming event, highlighting that the rules would be similar to his previous debate with Biden but with the addition of a full arena audience.
While Trump has confirmed his participation in the Fox News debate, it remains unclear whether Harris has accepted the invitation under the new terms. The Harris campaign has yet to respond to requests for comment regarding the debate.
The decision to switch debate hosts and opponents comes amidst ongoing political developments and preparations for the upcoming election cycle. The Fox News debate is expected to draw significant attention and interest from voters and political observers alike.
As the details of the debate continue to unfold, the focus remains on the potential exchange of ideas and policies between Trump and Harris on the national stage. The event is poised to be a crucial moment in shaping public opinion and influencing the political landscape leading up to the election.
