据Truth Social周五晚间发布的一篇帖子称，前总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，他已经同意福克斯新闻频道的提议，将于9月4日与副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯进行辩论。
“我已经同意福克斯新闻频道在9月4日星期三辩论卡玛拉·哈里斯，”他在Truth Social上写道。在帖子中，特朗普声称，美国广播公司新闻部定于9月10日举行的辩论已经“终止，因为拜登将不再是参与者。”
然而，特朗普和拜登在5月接受的美国广播公司新闻辩论的邀请仍然有效，哈里斯上周表示她将出席。
“唐纳德·特朗普感到害怕，试图退出他已经同意的辩论，并直接跑到福克斯新闻频道来保释他。他需要停止玩游戏，出现在他已经承诺的9月10日的辩论中，”哈里斯竞选公关主任迈克尔·泰勒在一份声明中说。“无论如何，副总统会抓住机会在黄金时间向全国观众发表讲话。我们很高兴在双方都同意的辩论之后讨论进一步的辩论。“任何时间，任何地点，任何地点先生应该对此没有问题，除非他太害怕了，不敢在10号出现。”
哈里斯竞选团队没有接受福克斯的辩论，也没有进一步的细节被公布。
特朗普表示，他愿意与乔·拜登总统面对面，并同意参加美国广播公司的新闻辩论。
然而，在拜登上个月退出竞选，哈里斯成为推定的民主党提名人后，特朗普一直对他是否会与哈里斯辩论不置可否。
“我想做一场辩论。但我也可以这么说。每个人都知道我是谁。现在人们知道她是谁了，”川普上周一在福克斯新闻频道接受采访时说。
特朗普以前跳过辩论，没有参加过任何2024年共和党总统初选辩论。
与此同时，特朗普和哈里斯在关键的战场州开始了一场针对彼此的广告战，哈里斯在民主党全国代表大会之前发起了为期三周的5000万美元的广告闪电战，而特朗普已经在宾夕法尼亚州、佐治亚州、密歇根州、亚利桑那州、内华达州和威斯康星州预留了价值1200万美元的广告时间。
Trump says he agreed to Fox News debate on Sept. 4
Former President Donald Trump said he has agreed to an offer from Fox News to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Sept. 4, according to a post on Truth Social late Friday.
“I have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th," he wrote on Truth Social. In the post, Trump claimed that ABC News' debate, scheduled for Sept. 10, had been "terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant."
However, the invitation to the ABC News debate -- which Trump and Biden accepted in May -- still remains open and Harris said last week she would attend.
“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 communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement. "The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience. We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”
The Harris campaign has not accepted the Fox debate and no further details have been released.
Trump said he had been willing to go toe-to-toe with President Joe Biden and agreed to the ABC News debate.
However, after Biden dropped out of the race last month and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Trump has been noncommittal about whether or not he would debate Harris.
"I want to do a debate. But I also can say this. Everybody knows who I am. And now people know who she is," Trump said in an interview on Fox News last Monday.
Trump has skipped debates before and didn’t partake in any of the 2024 Republican presidential primary debates.
Meanwhile, Trump and Harris have kicked off an ad war targeting each other in key battleground states, with Harris launching a $50 million three-week ad blitz ahead of the Democratic National Convention while Trump has reserved $12 million worth of airtime across Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin, according to AdImpact.
