On Thursday, 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.
Harris has appeared to reject two of those three debates, telling reporters on Friday that "I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump and we have a date of September 10."
