According to ABC News on the 8th (local time), former President Trump stated at a press conference held at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida that he agrees to the TV debate with Vice President Harris hosted by ABC. ABC reported that both Vice President Harris and former President Trump have expressed their intention to participate in the network's debate.
Initially, former President Trump indicated that he would not participate in the presidential candidate debate hosted by ABC. Instead, he announced he would debate Vice President Harris on the conservative Fox network. In response, Vice President Harris criticized him for trying to avoid the debate out of fear, and former President Trump reversed his position and decided to participate in the ABC-hosted debate. He also proposed to Vice President Harris debates hosted by Fox News on September 4 and NBC on September 25, in addition to the ABC debate.
However, Vice President Harris has stated that she will not participate in the Fox-hosted debate, and has not yet revealed her intention regarding the NBC debate.

However, President Biden suffered a defeat in the debate amid controversies over his age and cognitive abilities, and under pressure to withdraw, he gave up running, leading to Vice President Harris replacing him as the Democratic presidential candidate.
