What's happening today on the campaign trail:
- Vice President Kamala Harris is in Pittsburgh, where she will prepare for next week’s debate. After extended negotiations, she and former President Donald Trump agreed to the rules for the debate, which will use the same format as the June face-off between Trump and President Joe Biden.
- Trump returned to his former home state to deliver remarks at the Economic Club of New York where he announced he would adopt an Elon Musk-backed government spending plan if re-elected. He also appeared virtually at the Republican Jewish Coalition annual leadership summit in Las Vegas.
- Their running mates also hit the trail today. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio blasted the late Sen. John McCain's son for backing Harris in comments to a crowd in Phoenix, while Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz spent the day in Pennsylvania and delivered remarks in Erie this evening.
- Biden's son Hunter Biden entered a guilty plea to all the federal tax charges against him. His sentencing is scheduled for December. Meanwhile, the judge in Trump's election interference case in Washington, D.C., has yet to set a trial date.
Putin says Ukraine’s incursion failed; claims he supports Harris in U.S. election, citing her ‘infectious’ laugh
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Ukraine’s gamble to seize his country’s territory has backfired by boosting his own military’s advance, a boast he paired with a teasing claim of support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. election.
Speaking at an economic forum in the far-eastern city of Vladivostok on Thursday, he said it was the “sacred duty” of the Russian army to do everything to “throw the enemy out” of the border region of Kursk and protect its citizens after last month’s stunning assault.
Yet, Putin also said that Moscow’s main goal remained capturing the Donbas region, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland where Russian troops have been pushing forward for months.
Despite the family drama, Tim Walz’s mother says she backs her son for VP
Darlene Walz, the mother of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, remains supportive of her son’s bid to be vice president, even as other members of the family are divided, she told NBC News in a brief phone conversation today.
Darlene Walz made clear that she has grown tired of the public scrutiny of her family and believes her son “is going to be in the White House.”
Familial divisions over Walz’s role as the Democratic vice presidential nominee came into public view last week after a Facebook post and several subsequent comments from his estranged older brother, Jeff, were amplified by multiple media outlets.
Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly explains why he criticized Trump's Medal of Freedom comments
Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly elaborated today on why he criticized the former president's comments about the Presidential Medal of Freedom being "better" than the Medal of Honor.
Speaking at a Colorado State University event, Kelly said "when someone says that one medal is more important than the other, I just corrected the record."
"I believe the president had it wrong, and we just needed to correct that," he added.
Kelly also emphasized that Medal of Honor recipients "did something that was irrationally brave, that the assumption would be when he or she did it, that you would be killed. That's kind of the level."
Kelly had previously rejected Trump's comments about the medals to CNN, saying that the medals are "not even close. No equivalency of any kind."
Vance: 'Who cares' what John McCain's son thinks about the 2024 race
Vance tonight dismissed a recent endorsement of Harris by the late Sen. John McCain’s youngest son.
"Look, who cares what somebody's family thinks about a president" Vance said in response to a reporter's question at a campaign event in Phoenix. "John McCain died, what, 5, 6, 7, years ago? And the media is turning into a story, what John McCain's family says about Donald Trump."
McCain, R-Ariz., died in 2018 a year after he was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Vance said he did not believe that John McCain would have backed “all the destruction” Harris has brought to security at the U.S.-Mexico border.
He also said that while he did not know McCain personally, the late senator and Trump likely shared commonalities, namely that "they didn’t let their personal grievances get in the way of the country."
Trump has repeatedly disparaged McCain over the years, including after his death.
Walz alludes to political differences with some of his family members
Walz addressed the ongoing disagreements with members of his family after photos of Walz family members wearing “Walz’s for Trump” shirts while posing with a Trump flag surfaced yesterday.
“All of you know, I need to talk to my relatives, too," he told a Pennsylvania crowd today. "Trust me on this. Nothing makes you more middle Midwestern than having your family be on this stuff.”
Trump reposted the photo on Truth Social, which shows distant cousins of the governor's wearing shirts announcing support for Trump, saying it was “a Great Honor" to have the endorsement of Jeff Walz, the Minnesota governor's brother. Jeff Walz has not officially endorsed Trump, but he has said he's "thought long and hard" about the possibility of doing so.
A slew of Facebook posts from Jeff Walz were picked up by the New York Post, in which he said his brother is “not the “type of character” who should make decisions about America’s future.”
Walz’s brother later went on News Nation saying he no longer wishes to be involved in any political campaign, saying, “It wasn’t my intent, it wasn’t our intent as a family, to put something out there to influence the general public.”
NBC News has reached out to members of the Walz family for further comment.
Jack Smith seeks to streamline Trump’s appeals in election interference case amid delays
No date has yet been set for former President Donald Trump’s federal trial over his scheme to overturn his 2020 presidential loss by spreading what an indictment called his “unsupported, objectively unreasonable, and ever-changing“ claims of mass voter fraud.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan held a status hearing in the case in a federal courtroom in Washington on Thursday, nine days after a new federal grand jury returned a superseding indictment against Trump charging him with the same four felonies he first faced in his original indictment last August: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.
Walz discusses efforts to appeal to red-county voters in Michigan
Walz appeared on local Michigan radio station WCMU this afternoon to make a direct pitch to “voters in deep red Michigan counties.”
“These are folks I know well,” Walz began. “It’s not only how I grew up in rural Nebraska, but it’s the districts that I represent in southern Minnesota. Ag districts, folks that care.”
Walz said many rural voters have benefited from the policies of the Biden-Harris administration and would stand to benefit for Harris’ own proposals.
“I think the disconnect is trying to tell people that these are policies that make a difference to them. Whether it’s the strong infrastructure bill that happened, investments in them, investments in local schools, making sure their property taxes stay low,” he said.
“We just saw here recently Vice President Harris talk about tax deductions on startup businesses. People have their dreams that they want to get, they want to try and launch," he continued. "And the idea of a tenfold increase in tax credits for folks when they get started, those are the things that make a difference.”
'He’s pissed off about it': Vance fields question about Project 2025 at campaign field office
Reporting from Phoenix, Ariz.
Prior to his publicly announced campaign stop here this afternoon, Vance dropped by a Trump campaign field office in battleground Maricopa County for the second stop of his multi-day west coast campaign swing.
Accompanied by his family as he greeted assembled supporters and volunteers, Vance made a point to ask those in the audience about what they were hearing from voters as they made phone calls and knocked on doors on behalf of the campaign. One woman mentioned to Vance that she hears a lot about Project 2025 — a policy agenda compiled by the conservative Heritage Foundation that both Trump and Vance have tried to distance the campaign from.
“Kamala Harris is running dishonest TV advertisements because Kamala Harris is a dishonest person who doesn’t have a record to run on,” Vance said of Harris’ campaign’s effort to tie the two entities together.
“I know from experience, nobody speaks for Donald J. Trump except for Donald J. Trump,” he continued, adding that Trump is “pissed off” about the association with the white papers, and reiterated that only Trump himself “will set a Trump 47 agenda.”
Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, posting on his social media platform Truth Social in July that he knows nothing about the project. The Harris campaign, for its part, recently launched a new 30-second ad spot seeking to tie the Trump campaign to plan.
Teamsters says Harris will meet with union members on Sept. 16
Teamsters announced in a post to X that Harris would hold a roundtable with union members on Sept. 16.
The union has previously held roundtables with Trump and Biden, when the president was still running for a second term.
Teamsters General President Sean O'Brien said in a statement that the group's members "appreciate" Harris taking the time to meet in person.
"We look forward to having a conversation on the direction of the country and the issues that matter to working people," he added.
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to all the charges in the federal tax case against him. The sentencing for President Joe Biden’s son is scheduled for Dec. 16.
Howling werewolf design crowned a winning 'I voted' sticker in Michigan
Michigan's secretary of state unveiled the winning designs for the state's "I Voted" sticker design contest.
At the top of the list is a sticker design by middle school student Jane Hynous depicting a muscular werewolf ripping off his shirt, howling in front of an American flag beneath the words "I voted."
Two other elementary/middle school category winning stickers said "I voted yay" and "I'm cool I voted."
Another winning design leaned into artist Breanna Tanner’s Midwestern roots with, “Ope, I voted.”
"I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and creativity from the people of our great state," Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said in a news release. "Now, let’s use the same energy in casting a vote this November. I encourage every eligible voter to make a plan now to have your voice heard — vote with an absentee ballot, at an early voting site, or on Election Day — and feel proud to wear a sticker designed by a fellow Michigander."
The nine winning designs will be available for voters casting ballots in November, according to the release.
Harris campaign to launch a big ‘weekend of action’ around Trump and Project 2025 ahead of the debate
Harris’ presidential campaign is planning to launch a weekend of action focused on what it calls the dangers of a potential second Trump presidency and Project 2025, a conservative governing agenda that Harris has repeatedly criticized on the campaign trail and plans to bring up during the presidential debate on Tuesday, according to campaign officials who shared the plans first with NBC News.
As part of the effort, which Harris’ aides said was the campaign’s biggest weekend of action to date, the campaign will have more than 2,000 events that it expects will reach more than 1 million voters. Volunteers, who plan to work more than 20,000 shifts, and key campaign surrogates will talk to voters “about Trump’s extreme plan to ban abortion nationwide, cut Social Security and Medicare, and spike taxes by $3,900 each year for middle-class families,” according to officials.
The efforts are also aimed at appealing to swing voters who may be drawn in by the recent endorsements of Harris by former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Jimmy McCain, the youngest son of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Trump says he plans to ban mortgages for undocumented immigrants
Trump today blamed undocumented immigrants for "driving up housing costs," before promising to "ban mortgages for illegal aliens in California."
The comment comes after the California state Senate sent AB 1840 to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk last month. If Newsom signs the bill, it would amend the "California Dream for All" program, which gives down payment assistance to qualified first-time homebuyers, to include undocumented immigrants.
Trump's vow to ban mortgages for undocumented immigrants came during a section of his speech in which he promised to lower housing costs if elected, saying, "As soon as I get to office, we will make housing much more affordable."
Sen. Joe Manchin appears to endorse former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in Senate race
During an interview with Merit Street Media's "The News on Merit Street," independent West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin appeared to endorse former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in Maryland's Senate race.
"I'll give you one person who I know who's absolutely cut out to be a U.S. Senator: Larry Hogan in Maryland," he said.
Hogan, a popular two-term GOP governor, is running against Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrook in a competitive general election race in the solidly Democratic state.
In response to the apparent endorsement, Alsobrooks campaign spokesperson said this race is about preventing Republicans from taking back the Senate majority.
“Angela Alsobrooks is proud to be supported by Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Wes Moore, and Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen. Angela and those incredible leaders know that this race is about protecting Democrats’ Senate majority, and stopping Republicans from taking back the Senate Majority and passing an agenda that will take away our freedoms and harm hardworking Maryland families," she wrote.
Manchin's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
N.C. judge agrees to mail ballot pause as RFK Jr. fights to get off ballot
A judge in Wake County, North Carolina, today refused to force state election officials to reprint ballots to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name, but agreed to order a brief delay so Kennedy can appeal the decision to a higher court.
North Carolina election officials were scheduled to start mailing ballots tomorrow morning to voters who requested them, but were told today by the state election board to table those plans. Kennedy was given 24 hours to seek appeal, and if that effort is denied, ballots may still start going out tomorrow afternoon.
“The bottom line is: make plans to not send ballots out tomorrow morning, but be ready if that situation changes and we need to send out ballots later tomorrow,” State Board of Elections General Counsel Paul Cox said in an email to election officials today.
As a third-party presidential candidate, Kennedy had fought to secure ballot access in North Carolina. But now that he has dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump, he is seeking to remove himself as an option for voters in the battleground state.
Trump plugs Elon Musk-backed plan on government spending in speech
Trump announced today that if re-elected, he plans to adopt billionaire Elon Musk’s plan for a government efficiency commission to cut federal spending, adding that Musk has agreed to lead the commission “if he has the time.”
The announcement came as the former president delivered remarks before members of the Economic Club of New York in midtown Manhattan, where he outlined a seven-pillar economic plan.
“I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump said.
The former president continued, “As the first order of business, this commission will develop an action plan to totally eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months. This will save trillions of dollars.”
This year’s Democratic playbook features a lot of football
When Vice President Kamala Harris introduced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her new running mate at their first rally together, she called him “coach.”
One of the first stops on the campaign’s pre-convention bus tour was to a town in Pennsylvania where Walz spoke to a high school football team.
And then, at the convention itself in Chicago last month, Walz received his own pep rally when a parade of his former players took the stage wearing their old jerseys.
Walz’s football ties are a lynchpin of the Democratic effort to brand itself as the “normal” party this fall, right up there with Walz’s love of hunting and Harris’ time working at McDonald’s.
The first presidential debate between Harris and Trump is less than a week away. NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell takes a look back at Harris’ performances in past debates.
Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson says muted debate mics limit Harris' ability to 'prosecute the political case' against Trump
During an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Ian Sams said that the agreed upon rule over muted mics will be "challenging" for Harris.
“I think what’s really challenging and unfortunate about this debate format is that it limits the vice president’s ability to prosecute the political case against President Trump,” he said.
He said they agreed willingly agreed to the rule “because of the insistence by Trump’s campaign to have the microphones muted, up to what we believe was threatening to pull out of the debate.”
Trump responds to Russian sanctions, accuses Harris of trying to 'interfere in and suppress the Election'
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump attacked Harris and the Justice Department, accusing both of trying to "interfere in and suppress the Election" in response to the Justice, State and Treasury departments' sanctions and criminal charges announced yesterday to target what the Biden administration says are Russian government-backed attempts to manipulate U.S. public opinions ahead of the election.
"Comrade Kamala Harris and her Department of Justice are trying to interfere in and suppress the Election in favor of the Democrats by resurrecting the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and trying to say that Russia is trying to help me, which is absolutely FALSE," he wrote. "In fact, President Putin would much rather see Comrade Kamala Harris in Office."
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced charges against two employees of the Russian-backed media network RT. They were accused of implementing a scheme that sent millions of dollars to right-wing commentators through a media company. The platform appears to match the description of Tenet Media, which is known for pro-Trump commentators.
Harris raised more than $300 million in August, extending cash windfall
Harris’ political operation raised more than $300 million in the month of August — more than twice as much as Trump’s operation gathered in the same period — two sources familiar with the Harris fundraising numbers told NBC News.
The sources did not specify the exact fundraising haul, but the more than $300 million figure, which includes the campaign and related entities, signals that the breakneck pace of fundraising has not slowed since money began gushing in upon President Joe Biden’s July 21 announcement that he would step aside from seeking the Democratic nomination.
The next campaign finance disclosure deadline for Harris’ campaign is Sept. 20.
Trump election interference hearing adjourns without new trial date
The federal judge presiding over Trump's election interference case said this morning that she intends to allow prosecutors to file an opening brief outlining their immunity arguments but did not make any scheduling rulings during today’s hearing, which adjourned after a little over an hour.
It appears Judge Tanya Chutkan will not bother to set a new trial date at this time, as she and all parties agree that further pretrial appeals in the case are inevitable.
Chutkan said she will try to get a scheduling order out as soon as today.
Harris launches new ad tying Trump to Project 2025, targeting Black voters on NFL Sunday
Harris’ presidential campaign launched a new ad focused on “Project 2025” today, taking direct aim at Trump and “his MAGA loyalists’ dangerous plan” that, it claims, will control Americans’ lives.
Developed by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation and at least two dozen allies of Trump, Project 2025 is an outline of far-right policy proposals created as a blueprint for the next Republican president. The group has wound down its policy work amid criticism but Democrats have continued to make it a key campaign issue.
The Harris campaign’s new 30-second spot, which was shared first with NBC News, is aimed at Black Americans in key battleground states in hopes of making inroads with a demographic Democrats need to win over to be successful in November.
Hunter Biden intends to change plea on federal tax charges
LOS ANGELES — Hunter Biden intends to change his plea from not guilty to accepting a sentencing that would come from a guilty verdict in the federal tax case against him, his attorney Abbe Lowell said today.
The announcement was made shortly before jury selection was expected to begin in what would have been Hunter Biden’s second trial this year. The only surviving son of President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden is the first offspring of a sitting president to stand trial on criminal charges.
The conditions of the plea were not immediately disclosed, nor was it clear whether the judge will accept his attempt to avoid a trial and move straight to sentencing.
The news came after Hunter Biden and his attorneys had a private meeting before court today with U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi, who is presiding over the case.
Pro-Palestinian protests return to campuses adding election complication
Students are barely back on campus, but pro-Palestinian protests have already returned, putting a divisive issue back in the spotlight that Democrats had hoped Harris' nomination might allow them to move beyond it.
While few expect this fall’s protests to match the size or ferocity of last spring’s, when tent encampments roiled campuses and several university presidents lost their jobs amid criticism of their handling of the demonstrations, the new round of protests will come just as Democrats try to organize college campuses to mobilize voters for the November election.
“This isn’t going away. We’re not going away. Young people and their pursuit of justice and equity everywhere is not going away,” said Rania Batrice, a Palestinian American Democratic strategist.
Judge in Trump's election interference case says she's not considering the electoral schedule
Judge Tanya Chutkan said in court that the 2024 election is not a factor in her decisions about scheduling the proceedings in Trump's election interference case.
“I understand there is an election pending,” Chutkan said. “This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule. ... That’s nothing I’m going to consider.”
“This case has been pending for a year. We’re hardly sprinting towards the finish line here,” Chutkan added. “We can’t even really contemplate a trial date due to the looming appellate issues.”
Harris travels to Pittsburgh to prepare for debate
The vice president is traveling to Pittsburgh today, where she will spend time preparing for Tuesday's debate. She’ll be doing debate prep and making informal campaign stops during the day, several campaign officials said.
Pittsburgh was chosen because the location will allow her to make the most of her time in a key battleground state, they said. Past presidential candidates have also traveled to key states to prepare for their debates, including John Kerry, who spent several days in Wisconsin, Barack Obama who went to a resort in Henderson, Nevada, and George W. Bush, who stayed at a hotel near Miami, Florida.
Vance explains how he thinks day care costs should be lowered
Vance suggested ways to alleviate the high costs of day care in remarks yesterday at a conservative group's event in Arizona, saying that extended family could help out and that people shouldn't be required to obtain onerous certifications to become child care workers.
"One of the ways that you might be able to relieve a little bit of pressure on people who are paying so much for day care is make it so that maybe like grandma or grandpa wants to help out a little bit more or maybe there's an aunt or uncle that wants to help out a little bit more. If that happens, you relieve some of the pressure on all of the resources that you're spending on day care," Vance said at Turning Point USA's event in Mesa, Arizona.
Acknowledging that families may not have that extra set of hands, Vance said people should be empowered to get trained in the skills needed to take care of children.
"What we've got to do is actually empower people to get trained in the skills that they need," he said. "We've got a lot of people who love kids, who would love to take care of kids, but they can't, either because they don't have access to the education that they need or, maybe more importantly, because the state government says you're not allowed to take care of children unless you have some ridiculous certification that has nothing to do, nothing to do with taking care of kids."
"Don't force every early child care specialist to go and get a six-year college degree where they've got a whole lot of debt," he said.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, however, requirements to be a day care worker vary by state. Some states, for example, mandate that these workers have a high school diploma or the equivalent. Some states also require certain credentials and training.
Status conference starts in Trump's federal election interference case
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has begun today's status conference in Trump's election interference case, with scheduling for the trial the primary focus.
Trump and special counsel Jack Smith have proposed two dramatically different timelines for the future of the case, with Smith requesting the judge schedule proceedings to address questions about whether Trump should be immune from prosecution for certain actions leading up the the Jan. 6 riot, and Trump's lawyers asking her to first address his motion to dismiss the indictment.
Texas AG Ken Paxton sues county over voter registration forms
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton went to court to try to stop a large Democratic-leaning county in the state from mailing out voter registration forms ahead of November's election.
Bexar County, which is Texas’ fourth-most populous county based in San Antonio, voted this week to spend almost $400,000 to encourage voter registration by sending out paid-postage forms to unregistered Texans, despite threats from Paxton that he would sue if they did so.
Paxton, a Republican, has made combating voter fraud a central part of his legal agenda, even though those efforts have resulted in little proof of widespread fraud he has claims exists.
“The distribution of forms to unverified recipients could induce ineligible people—such as felons and noncitizens—to commit a crime by attempting to register to vote,” the attorney general’s office said in a news release, noting that the election code does not specifically authorize counties to mail out registration forms.
Voter registration forms in Texas ask voters for their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Eligibility is later verified by the secretary of state’s office before the voter can be registered. The form also requires registrants to swear under penalty of perjury that they are a citizen of the United States and that they are not disqualified from voting by a felony conviction.
Bexar County’s attorney, Larry Roberson, told the county commissioners that state law prohibits mailing mail ballot applications, but not voter registration forms. The latter are broadly available and routinely mailed out by third-party groups.
Harris heads to Pennsylvania for debate prep as Walz campaigns in the key battleground state
Harris will head to Pittsburgh later this morning, where she will begin several days of preparation for Tuesday's presidential debate against Trump.
Walz, meanwhile, will be campaigning today in Pennsylvania. He's scheduled to deliver remarks at a campaign rally in Erie at 6 p.m. ET.
Trump to speak at two events while Vance campaigns in Arizona
Trump is slated to give remarks at the Economic Club of New York at 11:30 a.m. and to virtually address the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership summit around noon.
His running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, will be campaigning in the battleground state of Arizona and is scheduled to deliver remarks in Phoenix at 6 p.m. ET.
This year’s Democratic playbook features a lot of football
When Harris introduced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her new running mate at their first rally together, she called him “coach.”
One of the first stops on the campaign’s pre-convention bus tour was to a town in Pennsylvania where Walz spoke to a high school football team.
Jury selection gets underway in Hunter Biden’s tax trial
LOS ANGELES — Jury selection is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles federal court today for Hunter Biden‘s trial on tax-related charges.
It’s the second-ever criminal trial of a sitting president’s son, and the second for Hunter Biden this year.
Hunter Biden, 54, was indicted in December on three felony and six misdemeanor counts alleging that he failed to pay his taxes during a period when, he has said, he was in the throes of drug addiction, as well as when he got sober. The indictment says that “rather than pay his taxes, the Defendant spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle.”
Prosecutors say in the indictment that Hunter Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019, from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020.”
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
How Biden is spending his final months as president
Biden is launching a new phase of his presidency this week.
Liberated from the constraints of a re-election campaign, he’s in the beginning stage of a strategy that will take him over the next five months to places at home and abroad that he likely would have ignored as a 2024 candidate, but with the goal of keeping the White House, his legacy and some of his most significant accomplishments secure.
Trump and Harris campaigns agree to rules for ABC debate
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to debate each other next week for the first time after their campaigns yesterday agreed to the ground rules set by host network ABC.
The Sept. 10 event in Philadelphia will use the same rules and format as the June debate between Trump and President Joe Biden.
