Donald Trump on Thursday proposed three debates with Kamala Harris this fall, all taking place in the month of September.
He said his campaign had reached out the TV networks and came up with: Fox News hosting one on September 4; NBC hosting one on September 10; and ABC on September 25.
‘We have those three dates and those networks. They’re very anxiously awaiting that date and those dates,’ Trump said at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump did not say if his team had reached out to Harris’ team. The former president did concede she still has to agree.

‘ I don’t know if they’re gonna agree,’ he said. ‘She hasn’t done an interview.’
Trump and his team have been slamming Harris for not doing a media interview since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and she became the Democratic nominee.
‘I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight,’ he said.
Trump had canelled a previously-scheduled debate on Sept. 10 with ABC News because he had originally been set to do with Biden. Harris had agreed to that debate once she replaced Biden.
But now the former president is agreeing to meet on the debate stage. It comes as Harris has made up significant ground in the polls. She led Trump in a new national poll out on Thursday and runs neck-and-neck with him in several battleground states.
