Planned election debate between Trump and Harris on ABC
The ABC television network announced on Thursday that the election debate between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will occur on September 10. As noted by the Polish Press Agency, the former president had previously announced on social media that he did not plan to participate in a debate organized by ABC.
Trump announced that he would prefer the debate to be sponsored and conducted by the conservative television network Fox News. However, according to PAP, he began to change his stance on Wednesday.
In early August, the former president stated that the debate with Kamala Harris should occur on September 4 or "not at all." He also mentioned that he had agreed on this debate date with the Democratic candidate on Fox News.
However, Harris's campaign team insisted on organizing the debate on September 10 on ABC television. The Vice President accused Trump of trying to back out of the original agreement concerning the debate on ABC.
The debate scheduled for September 10 was supposed to be the second such clash between Trump and President Joe Biden. However, Biden announced that he would not seek re-election.
