Trump agrees to debate on Fox News, but Harris insists on ABC
Donald Trump has agreed to debate Kamala Harris on the friendly environs of Fox News in September, but the vice-president has not signed on to what would be a switch-up.
Trump had previously agreed to appear on ABC News and debate Joe Biden a second time this year before the president ended his re-election campaign, Guardian reported.
In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the debate would be held on 4 September in Pennsylvania. The former president said that there was a conflict of interest at play after filing a defamation lawsuit against ABC and network host George Stephanopoulos over the anchor’s assertion that Trump had been “found liable for rape” in the E Jean Carroll case.
Trump claims that the ABC News debate scheduled for September 10 was ‘terminated’ when Biden dropped out of the race.
He also claimed that there’s a conflict of interest because he’s in litigation against ABC and anchor George Stephanopoulos, who Trump has referred to as ‘Slopadopoulos’.
