Former President Donald Trump has consented to debate Vice President Kamala Harris, but she has turned down his revised conditions. On Friday night, Trump stated he would face Harris in Pennsylvania next month during a Fox News-hosted debate. He also mentioned that he had arranged for the debate to include an audience, a feature absent from his earlier debate with President Joe Biden. In a late-night post on Truth Social, Trump said, &#8220;I have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th.&#8221; He explained that the original debate against Biden on ABC was canceled because Biden would no longer participate and due to ongoing litigation involving ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, which created a conflict of interest. The venue for the Fox News Debate will be determined later in Pennsylvania, with moderators Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum overseeing it; the rules will resemble those from his previous encounter with Biden but will include a full audience.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Trump&#8217;s shift in plans, Harris criticized him for attempting to switch networks and insisted she would adhere to the original ABC schedule. Michael Tyler, communications director for Harris&#8217;s campaign, remarked that &#8220;Donald Trump is running scared&#8221; by trying to back out of their agreed-upon debate while seeking refuge at Fox News. He urged Trump not to play games and attend the scheduled event on September 10th instead. Tyler emphasized that regardless of Trump&#8217;s actions, &#8220;the Vice President will be there one way or another&#8221; for her chance at national exposure.<\/p>\n<p>The Harris campaign expressed openness to discussing alternative debates after September 10th but challenged Trump&#8217;s commitment by stating he should have no issue if he&#8217;s genuinely willing unless he&#8217;s too afraid to show up then. It remains uncertain whether Fox News has accepted Trump&#8217;s new terms; despite his eagerness for a direct confrontation with his Democratic rival, speculation arose about his reluctance after he delayed committing for over a week.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week during an interview with Fox News where he suggested reasons not to engage in debates against Harris\u2014prompting ridicule from her campaign\u2014Trump&#8217;s hesitance became part of their messaging strategy as well as fodder for an advertising campaign launched by the Democratic National Committee aimed at highlighting what they perceive as Trump&#8217;s avoidance tactics regarding discussions about Project 2025\u2014a Republican agenda framework developed by the Heritage Foundation meant for implementation following potential electoral success this November<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3142,"featured_media":2318623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Donald-Trump-Kamala-Harris.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4021,32095,3634],"class_list":["post-2318622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-harris","tag-presidential-debate","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Donald-Trump-Kamala-Harris.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2318622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2318623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2318622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2318622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2318622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
