Trump has previously said he was willing to go toe-to-toe with President Joe Biden and accepted ABC’s initial invitation in May.
But after Biden dropped out of the race last month and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Trump had indicated he would not debate Harris on ABC.
Harris has accused Trump of “running scared” and trying to back out of the debate.
