Trump ditches upcoming ABC debate, agrees to Fox News debate instead
Former President Donald Trump said Friday he would not debate Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC, where he originally agreed to debate President Joe Biden.

In a tweet posted Saturday, the vice president said, "It’s interesting how 'any time, any place' becomes 'one specific time, one specific safe space.' I’ll be there on September 10th, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there."
Michael Tyler, the Harris campaign communications director, told NBC News in a statement: “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.”
“The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience,” he added in the statement. “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.”
A campaign official also told NBC News that “it is our understanding that ABC intends to provide the airtime to whichever qualifying candidates show up — even if it is just her.”
