- Controversial Message from Donald Trump
Former president and current Republican candidate, Donald Trump, has made a request regarding his upcoming debate.
Following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the re-election race, another Democrat will be nominated to assume the position.
Therefore, the Republican candidate asked that the debate be broadcast on Fox News.
The organizers had originally scheduled it to be aired on ABC next September.
Trump Makes Peculiar Request for His Upcoming Debate with the New Candidate
Trump made this claim on Sunday, July 21, via his Truth Social account, expressing his dissatisfaction with ABC.
«Now that Joe (Biden), unsurprisingly, has dropped out of the race, I think the debate should be held on Fox News instead of the very biased ABC,» he expressed.

He also reiterated that it doesn’t matter «whoever the radical left Democrats choose» to face him in the debate.
Biden’s announcement of his withdrawal from the presidential re-election, made on Sunday, came amid growing pressure within the Democratic Party.
This crisis erupted after Biden’s unconvincing performance in the debate with Trump at the end of last June.
This led to intense demands for the president to abandon the race, as reported by the ‘EFE’ agency.
Biden, who had presented himself as a candidate for re-election in 2024, announced that he would not seek a second term.
In his statement, Biden indicated that he would finish his term and asked for support for Vice President Kamala Harris, who has confirmed her intention to be his successor.
Now, the party will need to choose a new candidate at its national convention, which begins on August 19 in Chicago.
Meanwhile, Trump has used the situation to push for a change in the network broadcasting the presidential debate.
Fox News, known for its conservative leanings, is seen by Trump as a more favorable platform compared to ABC.
The former president’s request adds a new layer of complexity to an already complicated electoral process due to Biden’s unexpected withdrawal.
Trump has been vocal about his views on news networks he considers biased.
In his social media posts, he has frequently criticized media outlets that do not align with his political perspective.
With Biden’s withdrawal, the Democratic Party faces the challenge of finding a candidate who can face Trump in the general elections.
Vice President Kamala Harris is emerging as the main candidate to take over, although the party will need to formalize her nomination. HERE is Trump’s message.
