Agreement on Debate Dates and Networks
Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump confirmed that his campaign had agreed to hold three debates. The debate scheduled for September 10, hosted by ABC News, was the only one that the Harris campaign had also agreed to participate in.
