The former president said there would be a debate on Fox News on September 4 in Pennsylvania, as well as the previously agreed to September 10 debate on ABC News in Pennsylvania, and a third debate on NBC News on September 25 in Michigan. “Details to follow. I look forward to seeing Kamala at all three Debates!” he wrote.

However, the Harris campaign suggested that this schedule was not agreed to from their side, except for the ABC debate.

“We’re pleased Trump finally agreed to debate the Vice President on ABC after previously trying to back out. We are open to another debate, and we’ll continue those conversations. But to be clear, any additional debate would be subject to Trump actually showing up on September 10. We’re not playing his games,” a Harris campaign aide told Newsweek in a Sunday morning email.

    It’ll be the only way some people actually watch it. If it goes even halfway decent It’ll be huge. Risky, but maybe worth it

      Bernie could do it, but I don’t think Harris can. Maybe I underestimate her.

      It will be tough to win over Fox viewers to begin with, and they will stack the deck to make her look terrible. Fill the room with diehard Trump cultists who will eat out of his hand and howl and cheer at his every jab. Prepare the most pointed questions for her and the most soft ball for him, and bring it home with unapologetically biased moderators who will let Trump run rampant.

      Unless you have the authority and charisma to completely command the entire room, I only see it ending in disaster.
