According to Mr. Trump’s post on his social media site, the debate is to take place at a to-be-determined location in Pennsylvania, the must-win battleground state that could help decide the election. Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate.

It was unclear early Saturday if Ms. Harris had agreed to the debate and its terms. Representatives for her campaign did not respond to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for Fox News also did not respond to questions.

I think it's worth waiting to see if Harris has actually agreed to this, in the extremely unlikely chance that Trump lied about a thing.

Also, pretty funny that even if that's the case, Trump still needs a month to prepare and it has to be in his safe space network.

he is only 'agreeing' with the voice inside his head bouncing between the three brain cells. trying to play games and force harris into it.

i highly doubt harris would agree to those terms. nfw.

I'm sorry but you're wrong. Two brain cells fighting for third place.

The Harris campaign on Saturday declined to commit to the Fox News debate and said it was still planning on a Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC.

“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept. 10,”

I think that's pretty clear.

Pleassssseeeee stick to this Harris!! Man we can only hope.

I'm glad she called it exactly for what it was. Too bad Magoos will only see this as she wants her supposed safe space. :(

Would be funny to have it at the same place he got shot at last time.

[-] nomous@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Have it at the 4 Seasons (Total Landscaping parking lot).

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 3 points 4 months ago

That's even better, nice one.

I truly can't believe this timeline. That moment can't have been real. Yet it was.

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Well, Harris does have a pre-existing commitment coming up soon. Surprised Trump didn't challenge her to debate during that.

I would love if both Fox News and the Harris campaign came back and were like "wtf no one ever told us about this. Old dude with dementia is just making shit up again."
