In a news conference at his Palm Beach, Florida, residence, Trump said he wanted additional debates on Sept. 4 and Sept. 25 that would air on Fox and NBC.
Harris said in a post on X that she was looking forward to the Sept. 10 debate after Trump "finally committed."
An Ipsos poll published on Thursday found Harris has widened her lead over Trump since late July. She leads Trump 42% to 37%, compared with a July Reuters/Ipsos survey that showed her up 37% to 34% over Trump.
