The former president said there would be a debate on Fox News on September 4 in Pennsylvania, as well as the previously agreed to September 10 debate on ABC News in Pennsylvania, and a third debate on NBC News on September 25 in Michigan. “Details to follow. I look forward to seeing Kamala at all three Debates!” he wrote.

However, the Harris campaign suggested that this schedule was not agreed to from their side, except for the ABC debate.

“We’re pleased Trump finally agreed to debate the Vice President on ABC after previously trying to back out. We are open to another debate, and we’ll continue those conversations. But to be clear, any additional debate would be subject to Trump actually showing up on September 10. We’re not playing his games,” a Harris campaign aide told Newsweek in a Sunday morning email.

      Basically Harris needs to plan to have the Fox debate but hold off the decision until after Trump appears on ABC. That way she’s still in the driver’s seat.

      If she agrees to the fox debate now, Trump would just not show up because of, um, let’s see…bone spurs were acting up.

      And then Trump can shit on Harris for not coming to the Fox debate she agreed to.
