With less than three months to go for the US Presidential election, Republican candidate Donald Trump has agreed to debate with Democrats candidate Kamala Harris on September 10 on ABC Network.

In a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Thursday, Trump said that his campaign has agreed to three debates with separate dates and networks, including Fox News, ABC News and NBC News.

But out of these three, it is ABC News to which even Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has also agreed which is scheduled on September 10.

According to a BBC report, the ABC Network announced that both former President Trump and Harris have agreed to a debate on September 10.

In the press brief on Thursday, Trump said, “So we have those three dates and those networks, they’re very anxiously awaiting that date and those dates. So we have Sept. 4, Sept. 10 and Sept. 25. We have spoken to the heads of the network, and it’s all been confirmed, other than some fairly minor details.”

With both the candidates having announced their respective running mates, the campaigning for the US elections is now in full swing.

While Trump has chosen Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate, Kamala Harris declared Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice president pick.

Democrats have been in a tightrope walk situation until President Joe Biden remained the presumptive candidate and since the June 27 debate against Trump, the shadow voices for Biden to drop out of the race had become loud.

And eventually by mid July, Biden announced he wouldn’t be running for presidential poll. But endorsed Kamala Harris for the job. Harris was later on also endorsed by former President Barack Obama and other senior Democrats.

It is going to be one of the most crucial US elections in history, considering the current geopolitical situation of the world and global world order going haywire with multiple regional conflicts and tension raging between countries.
