Donald Trump said he has agreed to debate Kamala Harris on ABC News.

According to ABC News, the debate will take place on September 10th.

“ABC News has just confirmed that both former president Donald Trump and Vice president Kamala Harris have both agreed to participate in the September 10 debate,” Rawsalerts wrote.

Per ABC News:

Trump said so during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago Club on Thursday.

Trump previously said he had been willing to go toe-to-toe with President Joe Biden and agreed to ABC’s first invitation issued in May.

However, after Biden dropped out of the race last month and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Trump had implied he would not debate Harris on ABC.

Donald Trump announced at a press conference he agreed to three debates against Kamala Harris.

Trump said he agreed to debate Harris on ABC, NBC, and Fox News.

From POLITICO:

At a rare press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump added that he would participate in an additional debate on Sept. 25 on NBC, with a “fairly full agreement” in place, and also reiterated his support for a debate on Fox News on Sept. 4. In his remarks, Trump confused the dates for the ABC and NBC debates, though a spokesperson later clarified his comments.

Harris’ campaign previously agreed to ABC’s debate proposal after President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race. But the vice president hasn’t agreed to either the Fox News date, which Trump had previously floated, or the NBC News debate, which Trump suggested for the first time on Thursday.

Trump’s reversal comes as the Republican nominee confronts Harris’ rising poll numbers and has privately expressed frustration with the status of his campaign in the wake of Harris’ ascension to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket. Trump’s comments appear to increase the odds that Harris and Trump will face each other on the debate stage before voters go to the polls this fall.
