In a late-night post on Truth Social, Trump mentioned, \u201cI have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th.\u201d He added that the original debate scheduled against Biden on ABC has been canceled due to Biden&#8217;s withdrawal and ongoing litigation involving ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, creating a conflict of interest.
