Former President Donald Trump has declared his openness to debating Vice President Kamala Harris multiple times in the 2024 presidential election. Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Trump said, "Absolutely. I'd want to. I think it's important."

Trump's willingness to debate Harris reflects the significant shift in the Democratic primary race following Biden's withdrawal. Harris has swiftly secured endorsements from numerous Democratic leaders, positioning herself as the presumptive nominee.

Trump maintained that debating Harris would not differ significantly from debating Biden. "They have the same policies," he asserted. Despite skipping the GOP presidential primary debates during his previous campaign, Trump now emphasizes the importance of debates in a presidential race. He believes it to be an obligation for both nominees.

The former president's criticism of ABC News adds another layer to the ongoing debate over media bias and neutrality in coverage of political events. Trump has consistently accused the media of unfair treatment, particularly towards himself.
