Trump Pulls Out of ABC Debate With Harris, Makes Pitch for Fox News


Former President Donald Trump will no longer take part in a September 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris and suggested a Fox News event

Former President Donald Trump said he would no longer take part in a planned debate between presidential candidates that had been slated for September 10 on ABC, and instead pitched the concept of a new stand-off hosted by Fox News Channel. He also raised the issues of legal conflicts he had with ABC; Trump has filed a defamation suit against the network for comments made by anchor George Stephanopoulos around a decision that found the former president was liable for sexual abuse. Wallace and Baier recently told Variety they were even open to the idea of muting each candidate’s microphone when it was not their turn to speak, a technique utilized by CNN that seemed to keep its event more focused and give less time for on-camera bickering.
