It’s Official: Trump and Harris Agree On Debate Date In September
It’s official: Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are headed for a debate showdown on ABC this September 10. In a move that underscores his unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability, the former president announced on Thursday that he had agreed to face off against the struggling Vice President, with two more debates lined up later in the month.
ABC News confirmed the highly anticipated event in a statement, saying, “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.”
Speaking from his iconic Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump expressed his eagerness to hold Harris accountable, stating, “I think it’s very important to have debates, and we’ve agreed with Fox on a date of September 4. We’ve agreed with NBC. Fairly full agreement subject to them on September 10. And we’ve agreed with ABC on September 25.”
There you have it—Trump is ready to take the stage and make his case directly to the American people, unlike Harris, who has been ducking the spotlight. Despite agreeing to the ABC debate, the Vice President has remained elusive, avoiding interviews and tough questions at every turn. But come September 10, she’ll have nowhere to hide.
Trump’s team has been working diligently to nail down the details, including the audience and locations, while Harris remains noncommittal on any debate beyond the ABC event. The former president didn’t mince words about his opponent, pointing out the obvious: “The other side has to agree to the terms. They may or may not agree. I don’t know if they’re going to agree. (Harris) hasn’t done an interview. She can’t do an interview. She’s barely competent, and she can’t do an interview. I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight.”
Kamala Harris, clearly rattled by Trump’s confidence, tried to play it cool when she finally confirmed her participation in the ABC debate. “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,” she said, sounding anything but certain.
When asked about the other debates Trump proposed, Harris hedged, saying she’d be “happy to have that conversation” after September 10. Translation: She’s not ready, and she knows it.
Let’s be clear—Trump is stepping up, as he always does, ready to face his opponents head-on. Meanwhile, Harris continues to play games, refusing to commit to any debate that might challenge her failed record.
The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the American people deserve to see their leaders in action. As details on location, rules, and moderators are finalized, one thing is certain: Trump is ready, and he’s not holding back. The question is, will Kamala Harris rise to the occasion, or will she once again prove she’s not up to the job?
