Trump Agrees to Triple Network Debate Against Harris in September

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced his willingness to debate Democratic rival Kamala Harris three times in September on different networks. This announcement follows Harris' selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate and Biden's withdrawal from the race. Harris's campaign has gained significant momentum, challenging Trump's previous lead.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he is open to debating his Democratic rival Kamala Harris three times in September across different networks. This statement came during a news conference at his residence in Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump outlined his preference for debates on Sept. 4 on Fox, Sept. 10 on NBC, and Sept. 25 on ABC. However, he did not specify details such as whether there would be an audience. It remains unclear if his campaign has formally proposed these debates to Harris's camp.

The press conference marked Trump's first public appearance since Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. In response to Harris's rapid rise in the polls, Trump's campaign is recalibrating its strategy. Opinion polls indicate Harris has erased Trump's lead, mobilizing Democrats and attracting significant funding. Both campaigns have had interruptions due to Tropical Storm Debby.
