Dear Commons Community,

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have agreed to a debate on ABC on September 10th. Vice President Harris and former President Trump have both confirmed they will attend the ABC debate,” the network said in a statement.

Speaking at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump said that he was “looking forward” to debating the vice president.

Trump said “minor details” were still being worked out, including audience and locations.

Harris previously agreed to the ABC debate on September 10th – which was originally accepted by Trump and former President Joe Biden before the latter dropped out of the race. Earlier this week, Trump had said that he would not debate Harris if she did not agree to attend the proposed Fox News debate on September 4th.

An ABC source was confident that the network’s debate would be the first one between Trump and the vice president, as the Harris campaign has indicated she will not agree to the Fox News debate.

Full details on location and rules are still being discussed but ABC says that David Muir and Linsey Davis will be the moderators.
