Donald Trump Says He 'Absolutely' Wants To Debate Kamala Harris

But he also reiterated complaints about ABC News, which is scheduled to host the next debate.
Former President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he wants to debate Vice President Kamala Harris and “would be willing to do more than one debate.”
Trump made the comments on a campaign conference call focusing on Harris’ record on immigration now that she has become the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
“Oh, yes, absolutely, I’d want to,” Trump said in response to a question about whether he’d debate Harris. “I think it’s important. I’m not thrilled about ABC because they’re truly fake news. I watched last night. They’re actually trying to make a hero out of Joe Biden when he was the worst president in history, and they were doing things like, ‘Kamala, what a wonderful thing it is that she is running.’”
During the call, which included a past and current president of the union representing U.S. Border Patrol workers, Trump invoked a familiar litany of complaints — some true, some not — about the surge in crossings at the nation’s southern border, the Biden administration’s response and Harris’ role in shaping that response.
Trump also fielded questions about a variety of campaign subjects, starting with the debate.
