Former President Donald Trump claimed Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris has opted against participating in a Fox News debate next month. 

“Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th,” the Republican nominee for president wrote on Truth Social. 

The vice president’s apparent decision to turn down the debate didn’t shock Trump. 

“I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border, our “Border Czar,” where millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists, have been allowed to pour into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted,” the former president wrote.

Trump further revealed that instead of doing the debate, he will now hold a “Tele-Town Hall, anchored by Sean Hannity, for Fox.”

“It will take place in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – Details to follow!” 

Earlier this month, Trump said that he had agreed to do three debates against Harris, including one hosted by NBC News on Sept. 25, in addition to the ABC and Fox News forums.

“So we have those three dates and those networks, they’re very anxiously awaiting that date and those dates,” Trump told reporters during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago. “We have spoken to the heads of the network and it’s all been confirmed.”

Harris, 59, has only formally agreed to the ABC event. 

Earlier this month, she appeared hesitant to accept the Fox News debate but open to the NBC News one. 

“Well, I’m glad that he’s finally agreed to a debate on Sept. 10,” the vice president said on Aug. 8. “I am happy to have that conversation about an additional debate, or after Sept. 10, for sure.”

Harris has not held a single news conference since President Biden‘s July 21 decision to end his re-election bid and endorse her to run in his stead.
