ABC Says Trump, Harris Debate On September 10
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – U.S. broadcaster ABC says both former U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have agreed to a September 10 televised presidential debate.
It sets up the first face-off between the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates.
The announcement Thursday came shortly after Trump told a news conference that he had proposed three presidential debates with three television networks, saying he agreed to specific September dates.
“We think we should do three debates,” Trump said, suggesting two additional debates, which he said would be hosted by Fox News and NBC, respectively.
Harris confirmed that she will attend the ABC debate at an event in Michigan on Thursday and later said she would be open to additional debates.
The network said the debate will be moderated by World News Tonight anchor and managing editor David Muir and ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.
“I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump, and we have a date on September 10. I hear he’s finally committed to it, and I’m looking forward to it,” Harris said at the event in Detroit.
Trump, the Republican candidate, debated President Joe Biden once in June.
The two were slated to do so again on 10 September, but the frail Biden withdrew from the presidential race after a disastrous performance against Trump in the televised matchup.
That enabled Harris to become the Democratic nominee.
