I hear he\u2019s finally committed to it and I\u2019m looking forward to it,&#8221; Ms Harris said at the event in Detroit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump, the Republican candidate, debated President Joe Biden once in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two were slated to do so again on 10 September but Mr Biden withdrew from the presidential race after a disastrous performance against Trump in the televised matchup. That paved the way for Ms Harris to become the Democratic nominee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The confirmation of the debate on ABC marks an end to a back-and-forth that followed Mr Biden&#8217;s decision to leave the race between the Trump and Harris campaigns over that planned showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump had previously said that he wanted a debate hosted by the conservative network Fox News, saying it would take place in Pennsylvania, &#8220;at a site in an area to be determined&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Harris campaign had maintained they would still like to debate Trump on 10 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a news conference on Thursday at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump also said he would like to debate Ms Harris two additional times &#8211; on 4 September on Fox News and on 25 September on NBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said that CBS will host a debate between the two vice-presidential nominees, Republican JD Vance and Democratic Tim Walz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NBC News is reportedly in discussions with both campaigns about a potential debate this autumn, the New York Times reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-c5ae603d417a471ed3ba5ef7b7dc7f6b ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:400px;

to the ABC debate before they confirm any further showdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump also criticised Ms Harris for not taking reporter questions or doing an interview since she became the likely Democratic nominee just over two weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He called her \u201cbarely competent\u201d and criticised her intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later on Thursday, Ms Harris told reporters that she has asked her team to &#8220;get an interview scheduled&#8221; before the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump&#8217;s hour-long event was held amid reports that his campaign is feeling the pressure from Democrats, who have new enthusiasm under Ms Harris and have been dominating headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National and battleground state polls suggest her campaign has gained ground in recent days, though the race for the White House remains a close contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former president denied he had &#8220;recalibrated&#8221; his campaign to challenge Ms Harris instead of Mr Biden, and he appeared to prickle when asked about the audience Ms Harris draws at rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Oh, give me a break,&#8221; he said, arguing that crowds at his rallies were larger than at hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His Thursday news conference is the first he has held in several months, as his campaign has previously focused on holding rallies across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump also praised his running mate Mr Vance, who was recently under fire for comments he made in 2021 when he said those without children shouldn&#8217;t be leading the country and that women who don&#8217;t have children are &#8220;miserable&#8221; and &#8220;childless cat ladies&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have to tell you, JD Vance has really stepped up,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe&#8217;s doing a fantastic job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He took aim at Ms Harris&#8217; track record on immigration and the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he repeated his belief that US presidents should have a say over interest rates and monetary policy &#8211; a departure from the longstanding practice of having the US Federal Reserve, an independent body, oversee these matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He emphasised his priorities of lowering inflation, lowering crime rates and strengthening the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ms Harris on Thursday addressed United Auto Workers in Detroit, and thanked the union for endorsing her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said there are &#8220;89 days to get this done&#8221; ahead of the election<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: BBC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABC News has said it will host the first debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on 10 September.
