The post Donald Trump Jr. Challenges Harris: Will She Face Off on FOX News? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Donald Trump Jr. has created waves in the U.S. political waters. In a recent twitter post, he challenged Vice President Kamala Harris to a debate on FOX News. This challenge follows former President Donald Trump agreeing to debate Harris. This marks a significant moment in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Donald Trump Jr.’s Challenge
In his bold move, Donald Trump Jr. provoked Kamala Harris. He questioned whether Harris would accept the debate invitation or back out, suggesting that her refusal would reflect a lack of courage. His post read:
“My father already did a debate with Fake News CNN, so is Kamala going to accept the debate with Fox News? Or is she going to be a coward and back out?”
Donald Trump’s Debate Agreement
Donald Trump recently said he will debate Kamala Harris on FOX News. This is a change from his earlier decision. Earlier, Trump did not want to debate because he was ahead of Harris in the polls. But on Friday, he posted on Truth Social that he will join the debate. The debate will have rules like his past debate with President Joe Biden and will have a full audience.
Election Sentiment
President Biden is not running for the Presidential election anymore. He displayed his support to Kamala Harris instead. This has changed how people feel about the election. Polymarket says Trump has a 53% chance of winning, while Harris has a 44% chance. This change has initiated many discussions about the election and the upcoming debate.
Trump’s Pro Crypto Stance
Donald Trump has gained huge popularity in the crypto community as he supports Bitcoin. He wants crypto supportive regulations in the U.S. He has also said he would fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler. A lot of crypto people take SEC chairperson as anti-crypto.
Harris’s Position on Digital Assets
Kamala Harris has been more open to digital assets recently. A few days ago, her team invited billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban to talk about crypto. Some people believe this is just a political move. This makes the debate even more interesting because the political situation in the U.S is becoming a crypto situation.
“I have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
It remains unclear if Harris has agreed to the debate. Trump’s announcement came shortly after Harris secured the Democratic Party’s nomination as their standard-bearer for the November presidential election.
Biden’s Exit and Harris’s Nomination
Trump’s campaign faced a significant shift when 81-year-old President Joe Biden, amid growing concerns about his age and declining polling numbers, opted out of the re-election race, endorsing Harris instead. This decision followed a poor debate performance by Biden against Trump in June on CNN. A second Trump-Biden debate was scheduled for September 10 on ABC, with Harris expected to replace Biden.
Harris’s Challenge and Debate Details
Despite previously refusing to debate Harris, Trump agreed to the September 4th event, set to take place in Pennsylvania and moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. The debate will include a full audience and follow similar rules to the June 27 CNN debate between Trump and Biden. Fox News confirmed that both Trump and Harris were invited to participate.
“I look forward to meeting and debating Kamala Harris on September 4th,” Trump stated, noting the date’s convenience as it precedes the start of early voting on September 6.
