“This would present an opportunity for each candidate to make his or her closing arguments,” FOX News Media president & Executive Editor Jay Wallace and Vice President of Politics Jessica Loker wrote, according to the outlet.

Per Fox News:

Wallace and Locker also pointed out that New York Times opinion senior editor David Swerdlick called for Harris to debate Trump on Fox News in a piece published on Tuesday.

Fox News’ proposed criteria and format mirrors those of the CNN debate in June and September’s ABC showdown.

Fox News proposed a 90-minute debate with two commercial breaks, with only Baier and MacCallum asking questions. A coin flip would determine podium placement and order of closing statements. Candidates would stand behind podiums without any props or pre-written notes and there would be no live audience.

President Trump previously said he would do no more debates ahead of Election Day.

“THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Trump posted to Truth Social last month.

WATCH:

ALERT: @realDonaldTrump just announced there will be no third debate this election cycle. It’s an excellent tactic because @KamalaHarris NEEDS another one… she’s running behind so she’s begging for another shot. Trump can use this as leverage to get a Fox debate in before… pic.twitter.com/SqfNFrgU5R

Reuters reports:

Fox News has invited U.S. presidential contenders Donald Trump and Kamala Harris to participate in a possible second debate on either Oct. 24 or 27, the network said in a statement on Wednesday.

Republican Trump and Democrat Harris debated each other for the first time on Sept. 10. Trump has said there would not be another debate before the Nov. 5 election. He rejected a past invitation from CNN for an Oct. 23 debate, accepted by Harris.
