Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is open to debating Vice President Kamala Harris three times in September.
Speaking during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump said "It's very important to have debates" and added that he accepted invitations from NBC News, Fox News and ABC News.
During his announcement, Trump misstated some of the dates, but the broadcasters and Trump campaign staff later clarified that the ABC News debate will take place on September 10. The Fox News debate was slated for Sept. 4, while the NBC News debate was scheduled for Sept. 25.
Trump had previously said he would skip an ABC News debate scheduled for September 10 with President Joe Biden, but that has now changed.
The Republican also said that the election campaign staff has also agreed to a debate between the candidates for vice president, adding that his candidate, Ohio Republican Sen. Xhi.Di Vance, "is ready and doing a fantastic job."
