You can now bet on whether Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will take part in a debate on Fox News.
Fox News Hosts Debate Between Trump & Harris?
In light of Harris likely becoming the Democratic nominee, former president and GOP nominee Donald Trump is now asking for the next Presidential debate between him and Harris to be hosted by Fox News, and not ABC as previously planned. Fox News is viewed as more friendly territory for Trump.
"My debate with Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the history of the United States, was slated to be broadcast on Fake News ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, sometime in September. Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, has quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on FoxNews, rather than very biased ABC. Thank you!," Trump posted to Truth Social late Sunday afternoon.
The Biden campaign had initially set criteria for debates in May, including that the host network should be one that sponsored debates in the 2016 and 2020 cycles. That eliminated Fox News and MSNBC. But Biden is no longer taking part in the debate process, thus opening up the possibility for changes.

With the Democratic running mate still unknown, Trump’s own pick, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, has also been hesitant to commit to a debate.
It's not immediately clear as to whether Harris would commit to a Fox News debate.
On average, 42% of those betting this market at Polymarket were backing the change of venue. That is represented as +138 in terms of betting odds.

This market will resolve to "Yes" at Polymarket if Fox News (Fox News Channel, FNC) announces Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have agreed to a debate hosted by them between July 20, and October 15, 2024, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For this market to resolve to "Yes" it is only necessary that Fox News announces that it will host such a debate. Whether the debate actually occurs will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
The resolution source for this market is official information from Fox News.
