This will be the first meeting between Trump and Harris since Harris was named the Democratic presidential candidate after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

Trump had initially abandoned the planned debate on September 10 because it was scheduled for a time when Biden was his opponent. Instead, he proposed a debate moderated by Fox News on September 4 in front of an audience.

“Either I see them on September 4th, or I don’t see them at all,” Trump posted on August 3 on his social media platform Truth Social.

He then reiterated his commitment to the debate at a press conference at his Mar-a-Largo country club in Florida and continued to push for a debate on September 4 and a third, this time on September 25 with NBC.
