Trump explained that the debate was originally scheduled with Joe Biden on ABC before the incumbent president canceled his reelection campaign. Trump also cited a lawsuit he has against the broadcaster and one of its hosts, George Stephanopoulos, which created a “conflict of interest,” he wrote.
Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate, Trump said in his post. “Rules will be similar to the rules” of the Trump-Biden debate in June, he said.
The June showdown between Trump and Biden is considered by many as a turning point in the latter’s reelection bid, with his shaky performance damaging his campaign and paving the way to his eventual decision to step aside.
