Fox News has formally proposed a second presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, offering three potential dates in October: October 9 in Arizona, October 15 in Georgia, and October 16 in North Carolina. The network's proposal follows the recent ABC News debate and includes a unique format with muted mics, no audience, and closing statements only. Trump expressed skepticism about participating, suggesting he would consider it if he believed it was a fair setting, while the Harris campaign has indicated eagerness for another debate. Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum are slated to moderate, and the network has emphasized its strong ratings in key swing states as a reason for hosting. Both campaigns have yet to respond definitively to the invitation, which also includes an offer for a town hall event. The renewed interest in debates highlights the increasing significance of voter engagement as early voting approaches in battleground states.
