FOX News Media has formally renewed its proposal to host a second presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
This offer comes just after the ABC News Presidential Debate and aims to take place in October, coinciding with the start of early in-person voting in crucial battleground states such as Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina.
The absolute gall of ABC to keep “fact checking” ONLY Trump while letting her lie in every answer is infuriating.

FOX News Media executives Jay Wallace and Jessica Loker detailed the offer in a letter to both campaigns, proposing that their top political anchors, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, moderate the event.
The network’s proposal closely mirrors the formats of previous debates, including a 90-minute structure with two commercial breaks, podium placements determined by a coin flip, and questions solely from the moderators without props or prewritten notes.
The letter also highlighted FOX News’ high viewership ratings in key swing states and its successful history of hosting political town halls, even with Democratic candidates.
The Harris campaign has already expressed its willingness for a second debate. Just an hour after the ABC debate concluded, they issued a challenge to Trump, questioning whether he would participate.
The campaign claimed Harris perfored well in the ABC debate and emphasized that the American public deserves another opportunity to see both candidates face off.
🚨President Trump’s campaign just released this statement about the disgraceful 3 vs 1 Presidential debate tonight.

Viewers of the ABC debate panned its moderators for their clear bias.
