Trump stated, "The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated because Biden will no longer be a participant." While Trump seems eager to switch to Fox for what he claims will be a more favorable setting, Harris has stood her ground, insisting she will still appear for the ABC debate regardless of whether Trump shows up. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with showing up to the ABC debate if he’s not too afraid to do so." The political stakes have only escalated with Trump’s shift from agreeing to engage with Biden to pushing for direct debate with Harris instead. Trump, for his part, has indicated the rules for the upcoming Fox debate will be similar to those from his earlier debate with Biden, promising a lively atmosphere with "a full arena audience."
