According to Xinhua News Agency, the American Broadcasting Corporation announced on the 8th that former US President and Republican presidential candidate Trump has agreed to debate with US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Harris on September 10.

Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida that day.He said he was "looking forward" to debating Harris and attacked Harris and her running mate Waltz. Harris responded that she was "ready" to debate Trump.

Previously, Trump and Harris accused each other of being "afraid" of the debate.

The Associated Press article said that the debate between Trump and Harris will be another "high-risk moment" in this year's election.

At the end of June,US President Biden "performed badly" in the TV debate with Trump, and Biden later withdrew from the election under political and public pressure, Harris succeeded him as the Democratic presidential candidate. ABC was originally scheduled to host the second debate between Trump and Biden on September 10. After Biden withdrew from the election, Trump and Harris had a "war of words" over the debate issue.

Mainstream media and election analysts in the United States believe that the election is currently in a stalemate. According to poll data compiled by the US election information website "Real Transparent Politics", as of the 8th, Harris was ahead of Trump by an average of 0.5 percentage points in national polls, but in key "swing states" such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Trump was ahead by 1.4 percentage points. The two major camps have recently held intensive campaign activities in their respective "swing states."
