WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said on July 25 she is "ready" to debate former President Donald Trump, her Republican rival in a November general election.
"I'm ready, let's go," Harris told reporters.
Fox News proposed a presidential debate between U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris on Sept. 17, the network said in a statement released on July 24
In a letter sent to both Harris and Trump, the outlet said the debate would be moderated by two of Fox’s top political anchors, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
"Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee, FOX News Media is amending our proposal for a debate this cycle. Given the race has changed, we’d like to request the opportunity to host a Presidential Debate between VP Harris and former President Trump," the letters sent to each campaign, signed by FOX News Media president and executive Editor Jay Wallace and FOX News vice president of Politics Jessica Loker, stated.
"We propose to host the debate in the state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, September 17, just as early voting is getting underway there and in other key battlegrounds. We are open to discussion on the exact date, format and location – with or without an audience," Wallace and Loker continued. "Again, we believe Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, the faces of our political coverage, are the best choices to moderate."
