Despite trying to move the second debate to Fox with a full audience, Trump has agreed to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on September 10, 2024, as previously agreed to by President Joe Biden.
SECOND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
Date | Time:
Tuesday, September 10, 2024 | TBA
Hosted By:
ABC
Site:
TBA
To Qualify:
Candidates must receive at least
15% in four national polls of registered or
likely voters that meet ABC’s standards.
Moderators:
David Muir and Linsey Davis
Additional Information:
In order to participate, Trump and Harris must reach at least 15% support in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters, ABC News said in a news release Friday. The same goes for third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., though his approval numbers have largely hovered around half that percentage, and he did not qualify for the first debate held by CNN.
Along with meeting the Constitution’s requirements to serve as president and already filing a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission, participants must appear on a “sufficient number” of state ballots to attain a majority of electoral votes in the presidential election.
Candidates must also accept ABC News’ rules for the debate, which have not yet been publically released.
