Former President Donald Trump called for three presidential debates against Vice President Kamala Harris during a freewheeling press conference meant to recapture the spotlight after his Democratic rival picked up momentum.
Trump said he agreed to a Sept. 4 debate on Fox News, a Sept. 10 debate on ABC, and a third on NBC on Sept. 25. The ABC debate was previously agreed upon when President Biden was in the race. Trump had called into question whether he would face off on ABC with Harris at the top of the ticket.
As he continued answering questions, ABC confirmed that the network would host the two candidates for a debate on Sept. 10.
I hope she agrees to them,” Trump said during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate Thursday afternoon. “I think they will be very revealing.”

How do you feel about former President Trump challenging Vice President Harris to debates, and do you think this will change the public's perception of either candidate?

Considering the unusual situation of a former President debating a current Vice President, what personal feelings does this evoke about the current state of political discourse in the U.S.?

How does the idea of these debates influence your feelings about the role of media in shaping public opinion during election seasons?
