Former President Donald Trump on Friday said he would no longer participate in a September debate on ABC, opting instead to accept Fox News’ offer to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Sept. 4. The network pitched two of its anchors, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, as moderators, which Trump agreed to in his Truth Social post. In a tweet posted Saturday, the vice president said, "It’s interesting how 'any time, any place' becomes 'one specific time, one specific safe space.' Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., who spoke at the Harris rally, said Trump was “too scared” to debate the vice president. He’s scared.

Next week, a major campaign swing, then the convention and then it’s the debate,” one person with knowledge of Harris’ strategy said. Mitch Stewart will act as a senior adviser on battleground states, and Palmieri will serve as senior adviser to the second gentleman. “In Wisconsin, we have had more online volunteer sign-ups since July 21st than between January 1st and July 20th,” a Harris campaign aide said. “That’s a game-changer to a ground game in a small state like Nevada,” Molly Forgey, a Nevada Democratic strategist, said.

So hear me when I say: I know Donald Trump’s type.”But the Trump campaign is rushing to define Harris differently. “She knows this is going to be a very close race,” Julie Chávez Rodríguez, Harris’ campaign manager, said in an interview. Chávez Rodríguez and Harris have been close for nearly a decade, since Chávez Rodríguez first took a job as state director for Harris’ Senate office in 2016. The Harris campaign has launched a website advertising more than five dozen jobs.

The first national Muslim organization that had declared itself "uncommitted" on President Joe Biden's re-election bid is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris' candidacy. “She has shown more sympathy towards the people of Gaza then both President Biden and former President Donald Trump,” Suswell said of Harris. The group’s endorsement is significant given the backlash the Biden administration has faced from the Muslim community over its handling of the war. “It wasn’t an easy meeting for the president,” Suswell said. I think she’s more open to having conversations around ending the war.”Suswell added that her group was also moved to support Harris publicly because of her stances on domestic issues.
