According to Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller, a debate “will happen” between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, despite Trump’s side being “non-committal” about the ABC News-hosted debate scheduled for Sept. 10.
“Not only will there be another debate, but there should be multiple debates,” Miller told Axios on Thursday. “We do think there should be some diversification in the outlets for who hosts a debate, but I think the public would be sold short if we only did one debate against Kamala Harris in the general election.”
Recently, Trump has expressed his willingness to debate Harris, but he prefers a more conservative media outlet to host the event. With President Joe Biden ending his bid for the presidency this past weekend and Harris securing Democratic Party delegates to become the presumptive nominee, the future debate schedule remains uncertain.
“A debate will happen,” Miller told Axios. “I’m not sure it will be ABC.”
Miller also suggested that a Spanish-American media outlet should host one of the debates. On Wednesday, Fox News sent invitation letters to the Trump and Harris campaigns proposing a Sept. 17 debate in Pennsylvania, moderated by anchors Martha MacCallum and Brett Baier.
