Trump says his campaign has agreed to debate Kamala three times. 9/4 on Fox News, 9/10 on NBC, & 9/25 on ABC. Will Kamala agree to these three debates? Strong move by Trump here.

Per AP:
Trump suggests he would participate in as many as three debates against Harris. He said he’s willing to appear separately on Fox, NBC and ABC, all spread across September.
The former president has been inconsistent in recent weeks about his debate preferences, and Harris has not committed to any of Trump’s more recent ideas. Trump had agreed previously to a debate against President Biden on ABC in late September but then he pulled out of that commitment and called on Harris to join him in a Fox News debate.
ABC has said it would continue its regularly scheduled event and host whichever of the candidates shows up. Trump was noncommittal when asked if he would move forward if Harris only agreed to the ABC debate.

Per WDAY:
The 45th President of the United States, and the Republican candidate for President of the United States this year, Donald J. Trump has announced that he and Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party, will debate three times in September.
Fox News Channel will host the first debate, taking place on September 4; NBC News, who will host a debate on September 10; and ABC, who will host a debate on September 25.
Trump, who spoke at a press conference in Mar A Lago on Thursday, said the Harris campaign still has yet to agree to the debates.
“I look forward to the debates, because I think we have to set the record straight,” he said.
