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.

InternetUser2012 ,

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

jonne ,

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

nomous ,

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

jonne ,

That’s even better, nice one.

MutilationWave ,

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

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.”

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.

Asafum ,

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. :(

randon31415 ,

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

Warjac ,

She didn’t though. This is blatant misinformation.

n0m4n ,

Apparently, it is news to Fox, too.

I agree to NYT giving me 85% of their revenue forever. I agree to that.

gonna look real bad on the NYT if they don’t follow through!

tamal3 ,

The Fox News event is a week earlier than the originally scheduled ABC debate. Won’t Harris look bad if she doesn’t go?

Why is it on Harris to attend a debate she didn’t agree to, and not on Trump to attend the debate he did agree to?

He RSVP’d to the ABC debate, and now he’s chickening out and trying to hide behind his propagandist friends to avoid engaging in an actual debate.

It only looks bad for Harris if you consider Trump someone with integrity, Fox News an honest platform, or ignore how many debates Trump has backed out of in the past purely out of cowardice.

recapitated ,

Okay Trump, you’re playing the cards you wish you had, rather than the ones in your hand. A clear sign of denial.

Her statement should make clear that she is only interested in debates hosted by news networks, citing Fox News’ own lawyers who say that they aren’t journalists, but rather “entertainers”.

Maybe also make a point of refusing to work with an organization that was found liable for defaming voting machine manufacturers and poll workers during the last election.

There are endless valid reasons for saying no to this debate, and holding Trump to the original debate schedule he already agreed to.

n0m4n ,

I want the debate to happen AFTER Trump is sentenced in DC. Depending on what happens there, the debates topics are vastly different. Making a president into a king with literal life or death powers is a power that Trump will misuse.

GiddyGap ,

Trump when Biden is running: “Any time, any place”

Trump when Harris is running: “One specific time, one specific place”

Harris is going to wipe the floor with this guy.

n0m4n ,

Only if the venue rules are fairly done.

That is not what Fox’s history shows Fox doing as a news an entertainment channel. They will put any BS up to garner attention. For example, DEI hire.

If Fox applied the same benchmarks on Trump’s past ‘accomplishments’ and Trump isn’t fit for employment, period.

Cosmicomical ,

I don’t see why she should accept to be on fox.

Etterra ,

How long until he throws a fit and stomps off like an angry toddler? I give him 25 minutes (not counting commercial breaks).

Snapz ,

OP, you should edit the post to reflect the headline change.

IDKanything ,

I see a need for a debate, we know where they stand. We really need to stop treating politics like sporting events.

Nurgle ,

Headline so insanely misleading they had to change it lol. NYTimes is such a joke these days

It’s definitely a risk for Harris but it’s the only place anyone watching only Fox will see her debate Trump. Not that it’ll change their minds of course, they’re so heavily brainwashed it’s insane.

Ragnarok314159 ,

Why it should never happen. Trump could go there, shit his pants, and call Harris all the words, and all republicans will lap it up like the mewling little weird cowards they are.

drunkpostdisaster ,

There was no scenario that wasn’t going to happen anyway

Buttigieg has been appearing on Fox News recently and he’s been doing a good job dismissing their dishonest narratives and avoiding their traps.

youtu.be/SXGpXWbVYSg?si=xBtDe8jWbMdXvmUF

But this isn’t Buttigieg, and this isn’t a one-on-one interview, so we can only hope if she agrees to this for some reason that she’s as prepared as he is.

SaltySalamander ,

People who watch Fox make up a pretty significant portion of every debate's viewership. They don't care what channel it's on, they're going to watch.

DarkCloud ,

“Trump agrees with himself”

…say, is it perhaps weird to make meetings with yourself?

elrik ,

This was the obvious move - attempt to change the venue to Fox, Newsmax or worse. I’m surprised Tucker isn’t a proposed moderator.

Harris should counter with a live fact check requirement regardless of venue, which Trump and Fox could never accept.

OpenPassageways ,

Even with a live fact check requirement, would you trust Fox News to fact check? They’d probably use “alternative facts”.

FarFarAway ,

Fox’s lie. Who’d ever believe their news?

zer0squar3d ,

I mean foxes do say a lot of things… youtu.be/jofNR_WkoCE?si=wmu99UDKpDg5OQk9

FarFarAway ,

The problem is that I let it play even after I saw what it was…
