Former US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would be willing to debate the presumptive Democratic Party candidate for the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris, on several occasions. “I would actually be willing to hold more than one debate”the Republican candidate said in a call with the media organized by the Republican National Committee.

“I think if you’re between the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate, You really have an obligation to debate“said the former president, who was formally nominated last week, two days after the assassination attempt he suffered at a rally in Pennsylvania. Trump again criticized the fact that the second debate will be held on ABC, as agreed with Joe Biden’s campaign months ago.

The first took place on CNN on June 27 and was the trigger for Biden to abandon his presidential aspirations after his disastrous performance. The former president said that is not “enthusiastic” about having a debate organized by ABCIn a message on Truth Social last weekend, he called for the debate to be broadcast on the conservative Fox News channel, rather than on ABC.

In her first rally since Biden ended his re-election campaign on Sunday and endorsed Kamala Harris, the vice president on Tuesday evoked her past as a prosecutor to harshly attack Republican candidate Donald Trump, who has been the first former president convicted of a crime in the history of the country and of whom the Democrat said: “I know well what those of his ilk are like”.

Just 36 hours after officially launching his election campaign, Harris has mathematically become the Democratic nomineealthough his nomination will have to be made official at the Democratic Party National Convention in August.
