Fox on September 4, ABC on September 10, and NBC on September 25.
Speaking from Mar-a-Lago on Thursday afternoon, Trump announced that he has agreed to take part in three presidential debates in September: Fox on September 4, ABC on September 10, and NBC on September 25.
"So we have those three dates and those networks, they're very anxiously awaiting that date and those dates," Trump told reporters. "We have spoken to the heads of the network and it's all been confirmed," other than "minor details" like location, whether there will be an audience, and other details. While Trump initially said that the ABC debate would take place on September 25, his campaign clarified that it would take place on September 10.
"The other side has to agree to the terms. They may or may not agree" Trump said. He continued on to note that Kamala Harris has yet to do an interview as the Democrat presumptive candidate. "She can't do an interview. She's barely competent, and she can't do an interview. But I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight."
One reporter asked if Trump would be willing to just do the previously agreed upon ABC debate that was reached when Biden was still the candidate. Trump responded that "we’d like to do three debates. We think we should do three debates."
He also noted that CBS is going to host the vice presidential debate.
Harris previously declined the invitation to a Fox News-hosted debate. In a statement, the Harris campaign accused Trump of backing out of the ABC debate. When Trump agreed to the September 10 debate, he was agreeing to debate the then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
"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," Harris' campaign wrote on X at the time. The statement later added, "Mr, Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he's too scared to show up on the 10th."
