Former President Trump during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday said he had agreed to three separate debates on three different networks against his new opponent, Vice President Harris.<\/p>\n

Trump scheduled the press conference as his campaign seeks to make Harris’s access to the media a campaign issue. Trump had previously said he would not take part in a scheduled debate on ABC that was initially set on Sept. 10 between him and President Biden.<\/p>\n

But ABC in a statement during Trump’s press conference said both he and Harris had agreed to a debate on Sept. 10.<\/p>\n

The former president on Thursday also said he had proposed debates with Fox News on Sept. 4 and NBC on Sept. 25.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have spoken to the heads of the network and it\u2019s all been confirmed other than some very minor details,\u201d Trump said, including whether the Harris campaign agrees to any of those dates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The former president had cited ongoing litigation against ABC News\u2019s\u00a0George Stephanopoulos<\/a>\u00a0as a reason he would not attend an ABC event, though he had accepted the network as a host after filing the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019s team has called out Trump for backing out of the ABC News debate and has said the vice president intends to use that time to appear on the network regardless of whether he attends.<\/p>\n

Trump had in recent weeks increasingly hedged about debating Harris, initially saying he would \u201cabsolutely\u201d square off with the vice president but later saying he could think of reasons not to do so.<\/p>\n
