After MUCH dramatic back and forth and more than little chickening out, it seems scandal-plagued and felony-convicted former president and 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has finally agreed to debate his new 2024 Democratic opponent, current Vice President Kamala Harris, on none other than far-Right Fox News Network, as confirmed in one of his massive Truth Social meltdowns.
“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” the disgraced ex-president wrote on his Truth Social platform late last night. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.”
The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined. The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!….”
Both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden had previously agreed to a debate on ABC News Network, scheduled for September 10th, prior to Biden withdrawing from the presidential race.

Many Americans are struggling to trust this decision on Trump’s part, as the former president has spent weeks in a back-and-forth dance over whether he would be willing to go toe-to-toe with a much younger, trailblazing Kamala Harris in a formal debate setting.
Just earlier this week, the former president cited poll numbers when questioning why he should even need to debate his Democratic opponent.
“I mean right now I say, why should I do a debate?” Trump told Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo. “I’m leading in the polls. And, everybody knows her, everybody knows me.”
He also cited the recent shake-up in the Democratic party as yet another reason why he shouldn’t have to debate.
We shall see…
