Trump agrees to debate Kamala Harris on Fox News

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."

A campaign official for Vice President Kamala Harris accused Donald J. Trump on Saturday of scheming up a Sept. 4 debate on Fox News to avoid a debate scheduled for six days later on ABC News that Trump had committed to before President Biden dropped out of the race. “We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to,” Michael Tyler, the Harris campaign’s communications director, said. “Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”

That's not what happened. Trump just confirmed he's too scared to debate Harris and if you look at the original letter, Fox never mentioned half of what this weirdo is suggesting. He is now demanding a Maga rally.

 @GeckoEvaRepublican from New Hampshire  disagreed…11mos11MO

Biden dropped out. New candidate VP Harris’s team needs to renegotiate debate terms.

 @M0derateMattDemocratfrom Texas  disagreed…11mos11MO

He's a coward who can't show up for an ABC debate & instead of calling him out, go along with his latest clown show charade. I cannot believe how the media just goes along with his vile, his ugliness & division. What a freak show.3932404

He had already agreed to (what would be considered by a normal person) ridiculous standards to debate with CNN as host.

He should be met with the same, equal treatment to debate on Fox even though they’re not really for him either. Nothing to do with the person and everything to do with the equal opportunity. He was voted for by the people after all, no one voted for Kamala as president.

He committed to the ABC debate. He is a private citizen. She is the Vice President. He doesn’t get to make the rules. Stop treating him with kid gloves and tell your readers the truth, that he is a spoiled rotten convicted felon who thinks everything revolves around him.

Has kamala taken a single question since she was installed as Democratic nominee without a single vote ?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…11mos11MO

Given the public's reaction to debates on partisan platforms, how do you think this influences the voter's perception of the candidates and their policies?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…11mos11MO

In light of the accusation of avoiding a previously scheduled debate, do you believe strategic planning or genuine concern is the motive behind rescheduling political debates?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…11mos11MO

Considering the change in debate participants from a sitting president to a vice president, how do you think this shifts the dynamics and importance of the debate?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…11mos11MO

What are your thoughts on politicians using social media to announce significant political events, and does it enhance or undermine the formality and credibility of such events?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…11mos11MO

How do you feel about a political debate being hosted on a network known for supporting one of the candidates, and does it impact the fairness of the debate?

Europe on Edge as Critical Cables Severed Near Nord Stream Blast Zone

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Tuesday said "nobody believes" that two broken telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea were "accidentally cut.""We have to conclude, without knowing exactly who did it, that it is a hybrid action and we also have to assume — without knowing it — that it is sabotage," Pistorius told reporters in Brussels on the sidelines of a Council of the European Union meeting.The Finnish network company Cinia said Monday it was investigating a broken undersea internet cable running between Santahamina near Helsinki and Rostock in Germany — in a submarine incident that sparked political alarm in Berlin and Helsinki.The 1,173 kilometer-long cable follows a similar route to the Russia-to-Germany Nord Stream gas pipelines, which exploded in September 2022 in an apparent act of sabotage.Also speaking on the sidelines of the meeting in Brussels, Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said: “We are now investigating what has happened. We have good capabilities through all of this to investigate what has happened and who has been there.”Finland’s Europe Minister Joakim Strand called the incident "concerning.""Our authorities together with the companies are proactively investigating the case. The telecommunications have been re-routed to back-up connections and practical impacts have been minimal. The cable of course will be repaired. It is too soon to speculate on any causes but of course this is concerning," he added.The suspected case of sabotage comes as European foreign ministers, meeting in Warsaw on Tuesday, warned that Russia is “systematically attacking” Europe’s security architecture.

Horror in Northern Gaza: U.S. Questions Israel After Civilians Slaughtered in Residential Attack

An Israeli strike on a residential building in northern Gaza killed dozens of people early Tuesday, the territory’s emergency service said, in the latest attack to cause mass casualties in the area since Israel renewed its offensive against Hamas in the north.The Palestinian Civil Defense, the emergency service, said at least 55 people were killed in the strike in the town of Beit Lahia. Gaza’s health ministry said at least 93 people were dead, including 25 children. The Israeli military said in a statement that it was “aware of reports that civilians were harmed” in the town and was looking into the details.Matt Miller, a U.S. State Department spokesman, called the strike “a horrifying incident with a horrifying result” and said the Biden administration had contacted the Israeli government to ask what happened.Israeli forces renewed their offensive in northern Gaza this month, saying they were trying to stem a regrouping of Hamas, the militant group that attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparking the war in Gaza.The strike comes days after another Israeli attack on a residential block in Beit Lahia that left dozens of people killed or wounded, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense. The Israeli military confirmed the strike on Sunday, saying that the air force had “conducted a precise strike” targeting Hamas fighters.An overnight Israeli airstrike hit another residential building in the town on Oct. 20, killing dozens of people, Palestinian officials and emergency workers said.Roughly 400,000 people remain in northern Gaza, according to the United Nations, and many have been trapped in their ruined neighborhoods.
