Former President Donald Trump said he’ll debate Vice President Kamala Harris at his preferred time and place or “I won’t see her at all,” leaving plans for a face-off between the two candidates at an impasse.

Trump doubled down in a social media post Saturday on his call for a debate on Sept. 4, which he has said would be hosted by Fox News. Harris’ campaign dismissed the plan, saying a Sept. 10 debate on ABC, originally due to feature Trump and President Joe Biden, remains on the books.
