Trump Makes Major Revelation Debate
Former President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social account that he agreed to a debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
The presidential debate, scheduled for Sept. 4th, will be hosted by Fox News and moderated by the network’s anchors, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” Trump wrote. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest. The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined. The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party — BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!”

The debate agreement adds to the already intense rivalry between Trump and Harris since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. Harris and Trump have been trading barbs over policy and leadership styles since she effectively became the Democrat nominee.

The upcoming debate will provide a platform for Trump and Harris to address key issues and sway undecided voters to their cause.
The debate will be the first debate since Trump and Biden faced off in June. The president’s disastrous performance during the debate led to fierce pressure from his party, with many Democrat-heavy weights asking the former president to drop out of the race.
While it remains unclear how Harris will perform against Trump, who is an expert debater, her previous unscripted comments suggest the vice president will struggle against her opponent.

Harris is, however, surging in recent polls, with recent surveys showing her taking a significant lead against Trump among women voters.
