Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have agreed to debate one another on ABC on Sept. 10, the network said on Aug. 8.
“ABC News will host qualifying presidential candidates to debate on September 10 on ABC. Vice President Harris and former President Trump have both confirmed they will attend the ABC debate,” an ABC News spokesperson said in a statement to The Epoch Times.
Harris was officially nominated for president by the Democratic Party late on Aug. 5 after securing enough delegate support ahead of the party’s Aug. 19 to 22 convention in Chicago.
Trump and Harris have yet to debate, and the former president said on Aug. 3 that he wouldn’t debate on ABC because of a “conflict of interest” regarding a lawsuit that he had filed against network news host George Stephanopoulos. That lawsuit was filed in March before Trump agreed to debate President Joe Biden on the network in May, two months prior to the president’s exit from the race.
