Former President Donald Trump announced the dates for three upcoming presidential debates during a general news conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday afternoon. This comes as Trump aims to present a stark contrast with Vice President Kamala Harris, who has largely avoided the media since being named the Democratic presidential nominee.
“All of that being said, I think it’s very important to have debates. And we’ve agreed with Fox on a date of September 4th. We’ve agreed with NBC, fairly full agreement subject to them, on September 10th. And we’ve agreed with ABC on September 25th. So we have those three dates. So we have September 4th, September 10th, and September 25th,” Trump said.
“We have spoken to the heads of the network, and it’s all been confirmed, other than some fairly minor details. Audience, some location, which city would we put it into, but all things that will be settled very easily, very, I think it will be very easy. The other side has to agree to the terms. They may or may not agree.”
TRUMP CAMPAIGN clarifies:
Fox is Sept. 4
ABC is Sept. 10
NBC is Sept. 25. https://t.co/4jCiMktENQ
