Former President Donald Trump shared on social media late Friday that he’s agreed with Fox News to take part in a Sept. 4 debate with Kamala Harris before suggesting that the vice president hasn’t OK’d any such faceoff.

“If for any reason Kamala is unwilling or unable to debate on that date, I have agreed with Fox to do a major Town Hall on the same September 4th evening,” wrote the Republican nominee, in a since-deleted post on his Truth Social platform.

Trump, who has pushed for the next debate to take place on Fox News instead of an ABC News-moderated faceoff set for Sept. 10, later reshared his debate plans without talk of a town hall-style event.

Trump has questioned why he should debate Harris and hasn’t committed to take her on in the proposed ABC News-moderated event that both he and Joe Biden signed onto before the president stepped aside from his reelection bid.

1. I suppose Trump would choose whackadoodle Jesse Watters as moderator.

Harris can do her own Town Hall when Trump refuses to show for the ABC debate.

6. What would be cool to see is having VP

Harris watching a Town Hall of Trump live, and fact checking and responding to his juvenile antics in real time. That way people can actually hear her responding to him rather than just having him and fellow windbaggers from F try to bloviate over her replies.

10. Rachel and Kamala together on MSNBC

... doing a real-time factchecking on Chump's Faux-lies show. It would be epic.

(But I don't think MSNBC would ever allow it.)

[yourout]

26. Really like that idea.

[ificandream]

15. I saw a post on FB, for what it's worth, that she was planned to do the ABC event anyway.

I don't think it's been called off.

[BlueKota]

2. Vice President Harris

Should respond by saying I will do a Fox debate only if you agree to do an MSNBC debate with moderators Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence Tribe.

[gab13by13]

4. Nicolle Wallace & Marc Elias

[BlueKota]

7. Great choices too

[ificandream]

16. I'd require Fox to have at least one outside moderator rather than all just Fox stooges.

[gab13by13]

3. I have been saying this

Everything TSF does must be scripted.
He will not debate Kamala unless the debate is rigged.

[rainin]

5. He doesn't want the mic cut rule. He wants to be able to consume ALL the airtime

He's very good at domination and bullying. That's what the mic cut rule prevented him from doing. He'll never agree to that again. I'm sure. It takes away his only advantage. Her 'let me speak ' will get old after a few repetitions. He'll just bulldoze on.

9. He'll try

VP Harris was a prosecutor and an AG. She won’t let Trump or anyone else “dominate” her. Trump thinks he’s tough. He’s about to find out something different. What better place for a smack down than on Faux Noise.

[Hope22]

8. Why change the agreed upon format.

Enough! This piece of slippery slime will be a vomit of lies on FOX! There is no reason to expose VP Harris to this!

[liberalgunwilltravel]

11. Wouldn't matter

The venue or format doesn’t matter. Trump is only capable of a vomit of lies. What better way to take down Trump than embarrass him on his “home” turf in front of MAGAts.

[Rocknation]

12. If Trump can blow off ABC for being too left wing

Kamala should blow off Fox for being too right wing.

P.S. I'll be charitable and not mention that Fox paid $787M in that lawsuit the Dominion vote counting company filed.

19. I'm guessing that the issue is not so much the left/right leanings of the station, but the

rules that must be put in place for a 'debate' which tend to limit the toddler's antics to a reasonable level. Otherwise, as the analogy goes, he'll just knock over all the chess pieces and shit all over the board.

[cstanleytech]

13. Might be time for ads slamming Donald as being so scared of Harris that he only felt safe debating at Fox.

[twodogsbarking]

14. After much thought I have decided that I would prefer that sharks eat Trump.

[SARose]

17. Somebody couldn't sleep last night

So much winning!

He may have agreed with Fox but it appears as if no one contacted her campaign staff. Again, with the dominating bullying.

Oh and btw if she doesn’t show he will have a town hall.🤣

He will never ever never ever debate her and everyone knows it. He is terrified he will wind up looking old, sweating like a pig, slurring and making up words.

It will be eye opening for Fox viewers to hear what Project 2025 really means for them. Wait until old white people hear the SS and Medicare cuts. Wait until vets hear the plans for the VA. 👍👍

Say it to my face! Bring it on, you weirdo!

[SWBTATTReg]

22. He's already is looking old, sweating like a pig, slurring and making up words.

What's different, tRUMP? Are you a coward, thinking that faux news will save your sorry ass?

Personally I don't think anyone can save your ass now. You are too far gone.

[IronLionZion]

18. He's a scared little chicken

cluck cluck cluck

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

20. Donnie will only debate her at his safe place

But ABC is trying their hardest to be his safe place, too. I despise the Punditocracy who enable him.

[PSPS]

21. Of course. No mic controls plus a cheering section "audience."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. "in a since-deleted post"? . . . . . that's weird. . . . nt

[BumRushDaShow]

25. They updated the article later to note what happened next

Trump originally wrote on his Truth Social platform that, if Harris was “unwilling or unable to debate” on Sept. 4, he would hold “a major Town Hall” the same night. He later deleted and reposted his debate message on Truth Social without the talk of a town hall-style event.

No TV for you!

28. Fox News is not a legal news entity. Might as well have the debate on HGTV.
