The decision by Trump makes it increasingly unlikely that the candidates will confront each other on stage before the November election.
Donald Trump says he is pulling out of a scheduled September debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on US broadcaster ABC and wants them to face off on Fox News, making it increasingly unlikely that the candidates will confront each other on stage before the November election.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during the presidential debate hosted by CNN with President Joe Biden in June.Trump now says he will appear on Fox News on September 4 in Pennsylvania with rules that he called “similar” to his debate with Biden, but with a full audience instead of a mostly empty studio. Trump said that if Harris, the likely Democratic nominee, does not agree to the new network and date, he will do a “major Town Hall” with Fox News.
It was not immediately clear whether ABC would turn its September 10 event into a Harris town hall in Trump’s absence. Tyler said Harris is committed to the time slot and would appear “one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime-time national audience.”
