New Delhi: Former President Trump announced that Vice President Kamala Harris’ team informed his campaign that she would not be attending the Fox News presidential debate scheduled for September 4. The debate was set to take place in Pennsylvania and be moderated by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
“I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record-setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
Initially, former President Trump was hesitant to debate Kamala Harris after President Biden suspended his re-election campaign, as she was not the official Democratic candidate at that time. However, he later agreed to a debate once Harris secured the Democratic nomination for president.
Both Trump and Harris have confirmed their participation in a debate on ABC News scheduled for September 10. Trump has also agreed to a debate on NBC News set for September 25.
The Harris campaign has indicated that it would consider participating in a second presidential debate in October. Additionally, both campaigns have agreed to a vice presidential debate on CBS News on October 1, featuring Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance.
“Voters deserve to see the candidates for the highest office in the land share their competing visions for our future,” Harris’ campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement last week. “The more they play games, the more insecure and unserious Trump and Vance reveal themselves to be to the American people. Those games end now.”
Trump has decided to forgo the Fox News debate and instead will take part in a town hall in Pennsylvania hosted by Sean Hannity of Fox News.
