Former United States president Donald Trump has made a U-turn, challenging Vice President Kamala Harris to three debates after earlier appearing to back away from a showdown.
Former president Donald Trump has used a press conference to challenge Vice President Kamala Harris to three debates next month, despite earlier appearing to back away from a similar showdown, as he repeatedly branded his opponent as"barely competent."
However, Trump appeared to confuse his announcement, telling reporters the September 10 debate would be with NBC despite his campaign having previously booked that day for a showdown on the ABC. The Vice President's campaign had branded him"scared" as a result, and said the Democratic nominee would still attend on the day, regardless of whether the former president showed up.
Trump spent weeks distancing himself from honouring the September 10 debate commitment after Vice President Harris took over the Democratic nomination.
