Former President Donald Trump said he will participate in a televised town hall on Fox News on Sept. 4 in place of a debate he proposed on the network that was never agreed to by Vice President Kamala Harris’ team. 

“Rather than the debate on September 4th, I have agreed to do a Tele-Town Hall, anchored by Sean Hannity, for Fox,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media site Truth Social late Monday night. “It will take place in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - Details to follow!”

In the post, Trump wrote that Harris’ campaign just informed his team that she was rejecting the offer to debate on Fox News, which he noted did “not surprise” him, asserting it would be difficult for her to defend her “record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in.” 

Trump first proposed that the rivals debate on the network weeks ago before declaring at a press conference earlier this month that he wants three debates between the pair: Sept. 4 one on Fox News, a Sept. 10 debate on ABC News originally scheduled when President Joe Biden was still in the race, and an additional one on Sept. 25 hosted by NBC.

The vice president’s team last week said it is on board with the long-planned Sept. 10 debate on ABC, the vice presidential debate between their running mates, Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on CBS on Oct. 1, and potentially one additional matchup between Harris and Trump in October.

Harris' campaign said that her participation in the October debate is conditional on Trump and Vance attending the debates they've committed to do.

"The debate about debates is over," declared Harris campaign spokesperson Michael Tyler last week, adding: "Assuming Donald Trump actually shows up on September 10 to debate Vice President Harris, then Governor Walz will see JD Vance on October 1 and the American people will have another opportunity to see the vice president and Donald Trump on the debate stage in October."

"Voters deserve to see the candidates for the highest office in the land share their competing visions for our future,” Tyler added. “The more they play games, the more insecure and unserious Trump and Vance reveal themselves to be to the American people. Those games end now.”
