Trump Announces Debate with Harris

In a significant development, former US President Donald Trump held his first press conference since Vice President Kamala Harris officially became the Democratic presidential candidate. During this lengthy news conference, Trump announced his intention to debate Harris on September 10, a move that has generated considerable excitement and anticipation in an already historic election year.

Trump revealed that he had proposed a series of three debates to be aired on three different television networks throughout the month of September. This decision has set the stage for a high-stakes showdown, particularly following President Joe Biden‘s underwhelming performance in the last debate, which many believe influenced his decision to withdraw from the race.

During the event, which took place at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump made a point to address the recent selection of Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, as Harris’s running mate. “Between her and him, there’s never been anything like this,” Trump stated, adding, “There’s certainly never been anybody as liberal as these two.” The former president did not shy away from making controversial claims, repeatedly asserting that there had been a peaceful transfer of power in 2021, a statement that has been widely disputed.

As the news unfolded, Vice President Harris was traveling to Arizona on Friday as part of her tour of crucial swing states. Before boarding Air Force Two, she took a moment to speak with reporters about Trump’s announcement regarding the upcoming debate. “Well, I’m glad that he’s finally agreed to a debate on September 10th. I’m looking forward to it. And, I hope he shows up,” Harris remarked, expressing her eagerness for the confrontation.
