Former president Donald Trump is claiming that the first debate between him and Vice President Kamala Harris will take place on Sept. 4 in Pennsylvania. Trump said in a Truth Social post that the debate will be hosted on Fox News in Harrisburg, in addition to the ABC debate on Sept.
10, and another debate on NBC on Sept. 25. His Truth Social post reads as follows: “The first Debate with Kamala Harris, for President of the United States of America, will be with FoxNews on September 4th, 2024, LIVE from beautiful Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The second Debate will take place on Fake News ABC, home of George Slopadopoulos, to be anchored by David Muir, on September 10th, 2024, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The third Debate will take place on NBC, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on September 25th, 2024, to be anchored by Lester Holt - Details to follow. I look forward to seeing Kamala at all three Debates! DJT” However, Harris’ team isn’t quite convinced.
According to an email sent to Newsweek, one of the vice president’s campaign aides said the following: “We’re pleased Trump finally agreed to debate the Vice President on ABC after previously trying to back out. We are open to another debate, and we’ll continue those conversations. But to be clear, any additional debate would be subject to Trump actually showing up on September 10.
We’re not playing his games.” Trump has been flippant about the ABC debate, despite agreeing to the Sept. 10 date originally when he was opposing President Joe Biden.
In recent weeks, he has gone back and forth between attending the debate or pulling out of it all together, according to the Associated Press. Additionally, the Associated Press reported that “Trump also said he wants his vice presidential candidate, JD Vance, to debate Harris’ choice for veep, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on CBS.
The network is discussing potential dates to propose for that meeting.” The Sept. 10 debate will be moderated by ABC’s Linsey Davis and David Muir.
