Debunking Misinformation: Trump Has Agreed to Debates, Says FOX News Anchor
In a recent appearance on FOX News, Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman of New York made claims that were quickly disputed by the news anchor. Goldman alleged that former President Donald Trump was avoiding debates with Kamala Harris. However, these claims were immediately refuted by FOX News anchor Bret Baier.
Contrary to Goldman’s assertions, Baier clarified that Trump had agreed to three separate debates with Harris. He went on to point out that it was Harris’s campaign that had yet to agree to two additional proposed dates.
Despite this correction, Goldman continued to insist on his original claim. The exchange offered a striking illustration of the current political climate.
