Former President Donald Trump says that Vice President Kamala Harris’s team told his campaign that she would not be participating in the Fox News presidential debate scheduled for September 4^th.

On Monday, Trump posted on Truth Social, saying that Harris would not be participating in the Fox debate that would have been moderated by anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum in Pennsylvania.

“I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Trump had initially been reluctant to debate the Vice President as she was not the official candidate of the Democrat Party yet. However, the former president later agreed to debate her once she received the official party nomination.

Meanwhile, both Trump and Harris have confirmed that they will be participating in a debate held by the liberal network ABC News on September 10^th. The 45^th president also said that he has agreed to an NBC News debate on September 25^th.

Additionally, a debate between vice presidential candidates has been agreed upon as well. Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.) is set to debate JD Vance (R-Ohio) on CBS News on October 1^st.

“Voters deserve to see the candidates for the highest office in the land share their competing visions for our future,” Harris’ campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement last week. “The more they play games, the more insecure and unserious Trump and Vance reveal themselves to be to the American people. Those games end now.”

Trump later stated that instead of the Fox News debate, he will be participating in a town hall along with Fox News host Sean Hannity in Pennsylvania.
