Former President Trump announced Friday night that he has agreed to Fox News' proposal for a debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump said the debate would be held on Sept. 4 in Pennsylvania, although the location of the event has not yet been determined.
The former president also noted that an ABC News debate previously scheduled against President Biden before he suspended his re-election campaign had been canceled, citing his lawsuit against that network and one of its hosts, George Stephanopoulos.
"I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. "The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest."
The moderators of the debate will be Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
The debate rules will be similar to the rules of the June 27 CNN debate against Biden, who Trump wrote "has been treated horribly by his Party." But unlike the CNN debate, which did not have an audience, the Fox News debate will have spectators.
Fox News had invited Trump and Harris to participate in a debate in Pennsylvania on Sept. 17.
Harris said last month that she was "ready" to debate the former president and accused him of backpedaling away from the previous agreement to debate on ABC News on Sept. 10.
This comes after Harris became the Democratic Party's nominee for president after Biden announced he was dropping his re-election campaign.
Trump previously said he would not debate Harris because she was not the party's official candidate after Biden dropped out of the race. But on Friday, the vice president secured enough delegates to officially become the party's nominee.

What Kamala Harris Has Said About China

As presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris prepares to officially accept her party's nomination later this month, her stance on U.S.-China relations is sure to be a major focus in the lead-up to her showdown with former President Donald Trump.
The following is a review of what Harris has said and done when it comes to China and the highly consequential diplomatic relationship.
According to a Pew Research poll published in late April, China is a top foreign policy concern for approximately half of Americans. A poll published by Gallup the month before showed more than 40 percent view China as the United States' No. 1 enemy.
Despite President Joe Biden's November meeting with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping aimed at lowering tensions, Washington and Beijing are engaged in a range of disputes, from trade to nuclear weapons to TikTok.
"Kamala Harris is a CCP sympathizer and her record shows that she will bow down to China at the expense of America," Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek.
Newsweek reached out to Harris's presidential campaign and the Chinese embassy in the U.S. via written requests for comment.
When Harris sparred with then-Vice President Mike Pence in Salt Lake City, Utah, in October 2020, Harris fired a broadside over the trade war the Trump administration launched, which imposed tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese goods.
"You lost that trade war, you lost it. What ended up happening is because of a so-called trade war with China, America lost 300,000 manufacturing jobs. Farmers have experienced bankruptcy because of it. We are in a manufacturing recession because of it," she said.
The trade with the world's second-largest economy has continued to be a focus of the Biden administration, with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and others blasting Beijing for allegedly flooding foreign markets with electric vehicles and other goods to compensate for low consumer confidence among the Chinese.
In May, the president announced he was not only keeping Trump-era tariffs in place on $300 billion worth of Chinese imports but hiking them on categories totaling $18 billion in value.
As tensions continued to flare between the world's top two economies after Biden ordered a Chinese spy balloon shot down and before the president's high-profile November meeting with Xi in California, Harris stressed the bilateral relationship was about "de-risking" rather than decoupling.
"It's not about pulling out, but it is about ensuring that we are protecting American interests, and that we are a leader in terms of the rules of the road, as opposed to following others' rules," Harris told CBS in September in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta.
