Former President Trump announced on Wednesday that he will engage in a debate with Vice President Harris in the near future.
This announcement suggests that the two parties may be able to reach a mutually beneficial agreement, following Trump’s withdrawal from a scheduled debate with ABC News.
“I hear she’s sort of a nasty person, but not a good debater. But we’ll see because we’ll be debating her I guess in the pretty near future.” Trump said.
“It’s going to be announced fairly soon. But we’ll be debating her. I would like to see it on Fox, by the way,” he continued.
“I want to debate her. I think it’s important for the country that we debate. Now where it is, I’m all for Fox. I think Fox would do a really good job. But two people have to agree.” he concluded.
Trump announced over the weekend that his agreement to participate in a debate on ABC News on September 10 had been “terminated.”
He had previously consented to debate President Biden; however, Biden has since withdrawn from the contest and has been succeeded by Harris as the Democratic nominee.
Trump has previously stated that he would be amenable to participating in a debate hosted by Fox News in Pennsylvania on September 4th, which would be attended by a complete audience.
