Donald Trump has agreed to debate Kamala Harris on September 4, following her nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate. The debate, confirmed by Trump via Truth Social, will be hosted by Fox News. This follows President Biden's withdrawal from the race and Harris’s endorsement as the new Democratic nominee.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced on August 2, 2024, that he has agreed to debate Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on September 4. Trump shared the news on his Truth Social platform, but it is unclear if Harris has confirmed her participation.
The announcement followed Harris securing the Democratic presidential nomination earlier in the day. Trump's campaign faced a shake-up when President Joe Biden withdrew his candidacy on July 21, endorsing Harris as his successor. Biden’s decision came after a poor debate performance against Trump in June.
Despite a previously scheduled debate between Trump and Biden set for September 10, Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung had criticized the timing, arguing it was premature before Harris' official nomination. The upcoming debate will take place with a full audience and will be moderated by Fox News.
