Former President Donald Trump alleged that Vice President Kamala Harris is &#8220;afraid&#8221; to participate in a debate organized by Fox News. In a post on Truth Social, he stated, &#8220;Kamala Harris is afraid to debate me on Fox News,&#8221; adding that she would be an easier opponent than President Joe Biden. This comment follows Trump&#8217;s announcement that he would not attend an ABC News debate set for September 10, which he had initially agreed to before Biden withdrew from the presidential race. Trump argued that the debate was no longer valid since Biden wouldn&#8217;t be participating and cited his legal issues with ABC News and host George Stephanopoulos as a conflict of interest. Instead, he suggested holding a Fox News debate in Pennsylvania on September 4, moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, claiming it would feature a full audience unlike the previous one with Biden.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Harris remarked on X about how &#8220;any time, any place&#8221; seems to have turned into &#8220;one specific time, one specific safe space.&#8221; She confirmed her attendance at the September 10 event as previously agreed upon and expressed hope that Trump would also show up.<\/p>\n<p>A campaign official for Harris informed NBC News that they understood ABC planned to air the event regardless of who showed up\u2014potentially just her alone. On Monday evening, Harris secured the Democratic presidential nomination after receiving overwhelming delegate support during the party&#8217;s virtual roll call.
