Highlights
Former US President Donald Trump has agreed to a live debate showdown with Vice President Kamala Harris. After initially discounting the need for a debate with the Democratic Presidential nominee, he has now agreed to about 3 different debates for September. This turnaround marks one of the recent changing trends in the American political scene.
Per the schedules Donald Trump agreed to, he and Vice Presidential Nominee JD Vance may appear on debates hosted by Fox, NBC, and ABC. Before now, Trump and Kamala Harris had opposing views about the debates including details about the time and location. With the update, it means both parties have decided to come to a compromise on the matter.
The Republican party candidate wanted the debate on FOX News after earlier agreeing to have it on ABC News. Trump believed that there is a conflict of interest at play after he filed a defamation lawsuit against ABC and network host George Stephanopoulos. However, Kamala Harris bluntly rejected the offer.
It is worth noting that Vice President Harris entered the race under a very unique condition. President Joe Biden decided to step down as the Democratic Party candidate. This move came after leaders of the party became concerned with the public’s opinion about him.
Once he agreed to make this move, Biden immediately endorsed Kamala Harris as best person to take over from him in the upcoming election. The party eventually nominated her to represent them in the race.
While many saw her position as a feeble one at the time, the tides have changed. Shortly after her official nomination, Kamala Harris began to eye an alliance with the crypto community. Her campaign team reportedly planned meetings with top crypto industry players. Her pivot from what is normally expected from a Democrat politician has earned a push so far.
Her odds of winning the election recent reached a new all-time high (ATH) of about 47%. This happened around the time when she began to receive support from the crypto industry, based on prediction markets. With the Democratic nominee now leading in key polls across the nation, the Donald Trump camp needed to change the narrative.
