Democratic candidate for US president, Kamala Harris, withdrew from the debate scheduled for September 4. Dabate was to be broadcast by Fox News, as announced by former President Donald Trump on social media. Trump, who is the Republican candidate, noted on his Truth Social website that he was “not surprised” by this turn of events. He also added that he will instead attend a September 4 event with voters in Pennsylvania, which will be broadcast on Fox News.

On August 8, ABC announced that it would host the election debate between Trump and Harris, scheduled for September 10. The AP agency recalled that the former president had previously announced that he did not intend to participate in the debate organized by ABC.

Trump stated that he would like the debate to be sponsored and hosted by Fox News, but later began to change his position.

In early August, Trump said he would either meet Harris in the Sept. 4 debate or “not at all.” He also announced that he had agreed on this date with Fox News.

Harris’ campaign team pushed for the debate to be held on ABC on September 10, and the vice president criticized Trump for trying to back out of earlier arrangements for the event.

The Sept. 10 debate was scheduled to be the second meeting between Trump and President Joe Biden. Biden announced he would not seek re-election.

Why society waits for Trump – Harris debate?

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are key figures in American politics. Harris, as Vice President and the Democratic candidate, and Trump, as a former president and the Republican candidate, represent the two main political parties in the U.S. Their debate would be a crucial moment in the presidential campaign, potentially influencing voters’ preferences.

Direct debates between presidential candidates are rare events that give voters the opportunity to see how candidates handle stressful situations and present their views on key issues. Such encounters often provide information that helps undecided voters make up their minds.

Harris and Trump represent very different approaches to politics and have contrasting visions for the future of the U.S. A debate between them could highlight these differences, which would be interesting for voters seeking insight into how each candidate plans to address the country’s most pressing problems.

The 2024 presidential election is seen as critically important for the future of the U.S., given the political, social, and economic tensions in the country. Every debate during the campaign is crucial because it could determine the direction the country will take in the coming years.

Previous presidential debates, especially those involving Trump, have often been intense and full of emotion, drawing large audiences. People were curious to see how Harris would fare in a confrontation with such a controversial and outspoken figure as Trump.
