Trump and Harris at odds over presidential debate

Kathmandu: US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are at odds over their first head-to-head debate, with each in favour of a different broadcaster and date.

The Harris campaign is pushing for a debate to take place on ABC News on 10 September, in a slot previously scheduled for a debate between President Joe Biden and Trump.

But Trump says the ABC debate has been “terminated” by Biden leaving the race – and has instead pushed for himself and Harris to debate on Fox News on 4 September. The pair will face off for the presidency when the US goes to the polls on 5 November.

The disagreement began after President Biden dropped out of the race on 21 July, with Harris immediately becoming favourite to secure the Democratic nomination.
