It will be interesting to see if both campaigns\u200b agree to the proposed moderators and \u200cdebate on Fox News. Having Baier and MacCallum as moderators could provide a different perspective on the debate compared to other moderators. The decision to have the debate on Fox News may\u2064 also impact the viewership and tone\u2063 of the debate. We will have to wait and see how both campaigns respond to this proposal.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section>\n<p>Fox News sent an invitation Wednesday to both the Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaigns, proposing a Sept. 17 debate in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee, FOX News Media is amending our proposal for a debate this cycle.
