Fox News Proposes Harris-Trump Debate


Fox News has proposed a debate on Sept. 17 in Pennsylvania between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in a letter to both campaigns dated Tuesday.

“As you recall, despite not having a Democratic debate in 2016/2020, Fox News was able to secure town halls with Democratic candidates,” Fox executive Jay Wallace wrote in a letter to Harris campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon that was obtained by The NY Post.

Wallace sent a nearly identical letter to Trump campaign senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles. The letter included a variety of stats boasting about Fox News being the ratings king in key timeslots.

Specifically, he suggested that Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum could host the debate to “foster informed political dialogue.”

“We are open to discussion on the exact date, format and location — with or without an audience,” Wallace stressed in the letter.
