    Trump agrees to debate Kamala Harris September 4

    Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said late Friday that he had agreed to debate his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, on Fox News on September 4.

     

    “I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

     

    It was not immediately clear if Harris had agreed to the debate.

    Trump’s post came hours after the vice president had secured the Democratic Party’s nomination as standard bearer in the November presidential election.

     

    Trump’s White House bid was turned upside down last month when 81-year-old President Joe Biden, facing growing concerns about his age and lagging polling numbers, abandoned his re-election bid and backed Harris.

     

    His decision to bow out followed a disastrous debate performance against Trump in June on CNN.

     

    A second Trump-Biden debate had been slated for September 10 on ABC.

     

    That was expected to go ahead as planned, with Harris replacing Biden, but a spokesman for Trump last week said it would be “inappropriate” to schedule a debate before Harris was formally the Democratic nominee.

     

    The 78-year-old Republican nominee had previously said he would not debate Harris, who is nearly two decades his junior, departing from political tradition.

     

    The former prosecutor and ex-California attorney general last month dared Trump to debate her face-to-face.

     

    “Well Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage, because as the saying goes, if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face,” Harris said at a campaign rally in Atlanta.

     

    In his post, Trump said the debate will be held in Pennsylvania, and moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum in front of a full audience.

     

    Fox News confirmed that the debate would have “spectators” and follow similar rules to the June 27 CNN debate between Trump and Biden.

     

    The news channel said it had invited Trump and Harris to participate in a debate in Pennsylvania in September.

     

    “I look forward to meeting and debating Kamala Harris on September 4th,” Trump said, adding the date was “convenient and appropriate” as it comes just before the September 6 start of early voting for the presidential election.

    President of United States of America, Joe Biden has given reasons he endorsed the vice president, Kamala Harris, to become the next president after him.

     

    Speaking to Americans four days after he announced his withdrawal from US Presidential race, Biden said he passed the torch to a new generation to unite Americans, noting that saving the country’s democracy is beyond personal ambition.

     

    Eulogizing Kamala Harris, US President opined that she is experienced, tough and capable of ruling the country.

    His words: My fellow Americans:

     

    It’s been the honor of my life to serve as your President. I draw strength and find joy in working for the people. But this sacred task of perfecting our Union is not about me. It’s about you. Your families. Your futures. It’s about “We the People.”

     

    America is at an inflection point. We must choose between moving forward or backward. Between hope and hate. Between unity and division. We have to decide: Do we still believe in honesty, decency, and respect? Freedom, justice, and democracy?

     

    The sacred cause of our country is larger than any one of us. And those of us who cherish that cause—the cause of American democracy itself—must unite to protect it.

     

    Over the next six months, I will be focused on doing my job as President. That means I will continue to lower costs for hard-working families and grow our economy.

     

    I will keep defending our personal freedoms and our civil rights—from the right to vote to the right to choose.

     

    I will keep calling out hate and extremism, and make it clear there is no place in America for political violence—or for any violence—ever.

     

    I will keep speaking out to protect our kids from gun violence, and our planet from the climate crisis. Nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy.

     

    And that includes personal ambition. So I have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That is the best way to unite our nation.

     

    In just a few months, the American people will choose the course of America’s future. I made my choice. And I would like to thank our great Vice President—@Kamala Harris.

     

    She’s experienced, tough, capable. She has been an incredible partner to me and leader for our country.

     

    I have been privileged to serve this nation for over 50 years. I have given my heart and my soul, like so many others have.

     

    And I have been blessed a million times in return with the love and support of the American people. I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you.

     

    The great thing about America is that here, kings and dictators do not rule. The people do. History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America lies in your hands.

     

    We just have to keep the faith and remember who we are. We are the UNITED States of America, and there is nothing beyond our capacity—when we do it together”.
