Trump and Kamala Harris to Debate on September 10
First Debate to Air on ABC; Biden Withdraws, Harris Takes Lead
Washington/Palm Beach- In a significant development in the US presidential race, former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump, along with current Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, have agreed to participate in an election debate on September 10. The debate, which will be broadcast by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), will see the two candidates go head-to-head for the first time in this election cycle.
The announcement came shortly after Trump revealed in a press conference that he had proposed three debates to various television networks as part of the presidential election process. He confirmed that specific dates in September had been agreed upon.
The debate on September 10 follows an earlier debate between Trump and former Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden. Biden's underwhelming performance led to mounting pressure on him to withdraw his candidacy. Subsequently, Biden stepped down and endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate, paving the way for her to challenge Trump in the upcoming debate.
