Former President Trump said on Monday evening that he will "probably end up debating" Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump's campaign said last week he would not agree to a scheduled debate with Harris until she officially becomes the Democratic nominee. The former president was previously scheduled to debate President Biden on September 10 in a debate hosted by ABC.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Monday night asked Trump whether he would commit to a debate with Harris.

“I want to do a debate. But I also can say this. Everybody knows who I am. And now people know who she is,” Trump said. “The answer is yes, I’ll probably end up debating.”

He argued that a debate would need to be held before early voting begins in certain states.

“The answer is yes, but I can also make a case for not doing it,” he also said.
