Trump, when asked by reporters on Tuesday, indicated he would “absolutely” debate Harris but hinted he might not participate in the ABC event. His campaign clarified on Thursday that they would not commit to a general election debate with Harris until Democrats officially nominate their candidate. Harris is reportedly set to secure enough delegates for the nomination, with a virtual vote scheduled for August 1, just ahead of the Democratic National Convention from August 19-22 in Chicago.
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump’s campaign, reiterated on MSNBC that “of course” the former president would debate the Democratic nominee, but emphasized that Democrats need to formalize their nominee before locking in debate dates.
“Not only will there be another debate, but there should be multiple debates,” Miller told Axios on Thursday. “We do think there should be some diversification in the outlets for who hosts a debate, but I think the public would be sold short if we only did one debate against Kamala Harris in the general election.”
In light of President Joe Biden’s recent decision to withdraw from the debate and endorse Harris, Fox News has extended an invitation to both campaigns to host a debate on their network.
“Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee, FOX News Media is amending our proposal for a debate this cycle. Given the race has changed, we’d like to request the opportunity to host a Presidential Debate between VP Harris and former President Trump,” said a letter from Fox News Media president Jay Wallace and Fox News Vice President of Politics Jessica Loker.

“We propose to host the debate in the state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, September 17, just as early voting is getting underway there and in other key battlegrounds. We are open to discussion on the exact date, format and location – with or without an audience,” the letter continued.
They concluded, “In recognition of FOX News Media’s capabilities and reputation, we cordially extend an invitation to all concerned parties to discuss our proposal. We appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to foster informed political dialogue at this pivotal moment for our nation.”
Despite this, neither campaign has responded to Fox’s offer. However, Trump took to his Truth Social platform this week to address the debate situation.
“My debate with Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the history of the United States, was slated to be broadcast on Fake News ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, sometime in September,” Trump wrote.
“Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, has quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on FoxNews, rather than very biased ABC. Thank you!” he added.
The unfolding drama surrounding the debates highlights the ongoing tension between the two parties as the 2024 election approaches. Both campaigns continue to strategize their next moves, with the American public eagerly awaiting the final showdown.
