Will the TV duel collapse?
“Fake news”: Trump rails against broadcaster ABC
US presidential candidate Donald Trump has questioned his televised debate with opponent Kamala Harris scheduled for September 10. The Republican accused the broadcaster ABC News of being biased.
He posed the question on his online platform Truth Social on Sunday evening (local time): "Why would I do a debate against Kamala Harris on this network?"
Trump referred to the network as "ABC Fake News". He expressed anger at the network's coverage on Sunday, in which a reporter conducted a "ridiculous and partisan interview" with Republican Senator Tom Cotton. He called the political experts appearing on the channel a "so-called discussion group of Trump haters".
Is Trump canceling the only duel so far?
Trump did not cancel the date for the television duel. However, he explained that the broadcaster had "a lot of questions to answer".
ABC News announced two and a half weeks ago that Trump and Harris would face off on the channel on September 10. Both the Republican and the Democrat had confirmed their participation on this date, the station announced at the time. It is the only televised debate scheduled so far between the vice president and the former president before the election on November 5.
