The next debate will be hosted by ABC News. It will be the second presidential debate in the 2024 election cycle; however, it will be Harris’s first. She stepped in for President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in July and was met with enthusiasm.

Trump knocked Democrats and much of the press for “all of a sudden” changing their perception of Harris by saying she’s a “wonderful” vice president.

“But she’s not wonderful,” Trump said on Fox News’s Life, Liberty, and Levin. “So we have a debate coming up, and I look forward to that, and she’ll be exposed.”

Trump noted that Harris became the Democrats’ new nominee with “no votes” and claimed Biden was overthrown by a “coup” against him. Additionally, he questioned if the United States currently has a president at all, as “Biden’s on vacation all the time.”

Additionally, the former president reflected on the “tremendous potential” the U.S. and its military have, but argued it needs the right leadership. He assured that his leadership, should he become president again, would never go “woke,” and warned that a potential Harris presidency would cause “the whole world” to “explode.”

Ahead of the debate, Harris accused Trump of “surrendering to his advisors” by supporting a debate rule that would not have live microphones throughout the entirety of the debate. She claimed the former president’s team “doesn’t have confidence in him.” The former president has stated this debate will have the same rules used for CNN’s debate, in which candidates had their microphones muted when it was not their turn to talk.

Ex-Democrat and former Hawaii lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard, who endorsed Trump last week in his 2024 bid for the White House, has advised the former president to go after Harris’s “character” during this debate. Gabbard is also assisting Trump in his debate preparation, though Trump himself has stated he is “not spending a lot of time on it.”
