US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has agreed with the Fox News Network to engage in a teleconference with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on September 4, according to a post on his platform Truth Social late yesterday (local time).
“The rules will be the same as my debate with Sleeping Joe, who was treated horribly by his own party, but with a large audience,” Trump said, referring to President Joe Biden, who has since withdrawn from the campaign. for his re-election.
The post was taken down and replaced minutes later with a new one, with Trump deleting the proposal for a “big” ‘Town Hall’ event (ie one with an audience asking questions) on the same date if Harris “isn’t willing or is unable to participate in debate.’
Harris had responded last month that she was “ready” when Fox News suggested a Sept. 17 presidential debate between the two candidates.
After Biden dropped out of the presidential race on July 21 and endorsed Harris, Trump said he would not engage in a telefight with her because she is not her party’s official nominee.
As evidence of her lack of support, Trump added that former President Barack Obama had not endorsed Harris’ candidacy. However, Obama sided with her one day later, while yesterday Harris officially received the necessary number of votes from the electors to become the candidate of the Democratic party for the presidency of the USA.
