Trump is ready for the next debate…
On Wednesday, Trump seemed to suggest that his ongoing lawsuit against ABC News host George Stephanopoulos would not affect any upcoming debate against Kamala Harris.
During his appearance, Trump told “FOX & Friends” that the media is trying to turn Harris into a liberal version of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and pointed out that the Democrat nominee hasn’t given an interview since President Biden was pushed off the ticket over two weeks ago.
“I don’t know how she debates. I heard she’s sort of a nasty person but not a good debater, but we’ll see because we’ll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future. It’s going to be announced fairly soon, but we’ll be debating her,” Trump said. (RELATED: Trump Appears To Confirm Upcoming Debate With Harris: What You Need To Know)
Trump’s comments come after the presidential nominee previously could be a conflict of interest because he is in litigation against Stephanopoulos.
The lawsuit against the ABC News reporter stems from comments he made in March when he wrongly asserted that Trump was found “liable for rape” in a civil case multiple times on air. Recently, ABC failed in its effort to have the defamation lawsuit dismissed.
“I would like to see it on Fox, by the way… my preference would be Fox,” Trump said as Steve Doocy asked if he was ready to make an announcement.
“The most important thing is we get to debate, I think debates are very important,” Trump said.
Brian Kilmeade pointed out that Trump is in litigation against ABC News’ biggest star, asking “So, how could you go on ABC?”
“Well, you can use that as an excuse, I could use that. I’ve said that, is there a conflict? You know, there might be. And George Slopadopoulos, he’s got problems and they’ve got problems, but they’re going to have, I guess, David Muir is going to be the host, you have all the hosts are pretty much named, you have Bret and Martha, and they’re great, and I’d love to see it on Fox but, you know, it takes two to tango,” Trump said.
“She doesn’t want to debate,” Trump said of Harris. “She wants to say I don’t want to debate, but I do want to debate. When it came to Biden, I accepted everything. I accepted Jake Tapper, I accepted everything … pretty much that’s the way I do it right now, because I want to debate her.”
If the ABC debate goes ahead, Stephanopoulos would not be the moderator.
ABC’s David Muir and Linsey Davis were set to moderate the Sept. 10 showdown between Trump and Biden and remain in place if Trump and Harris do agree to meet.
