Harris Challenges Trump

Vice President Harris, speaking to reporters after returning from Indiana and Texas, emphasized her eagerness for the debate. She has suggested that the debate would highlight the stark differences between the two candidates.

The September 10 debate was initially agreed upon by Trump and President Joe Biden. However, following Biden’s withdrawal from the race and his endorsement of Harris, the debate dynamics shifted. Trump has expressed a preference for moving the debate to Fox News but indicated a willingness to debate Harris multiple times.
