Former President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he has accepted an invitation from ABC News to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on September 10. Trump made the announcement during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago Club.
Initially, Trump had expressed his willingness to debate President Joe Biden, accepting ABC’s first invitation issued in May. However, after Biden withdrew from the race last month and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Trump had suggested that he might not participate in a debate with Harris on ABC.
In response to this uncertainty, Harris accused Trump of “running scared” of the debate. Despite the earlier hesitation, Trump has now confirmed that he will face Harris in the upcoming debate.
