Trump waffles on Harris debate on ABC News, Democratic nominee wants hot mics

• Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is waffling on whether he will debate as agreed to with Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC News next month.
• Trump questioned whether he should debate the Democratic nominee Harris on Sept. 10, given what the former president suggested would be a hostile setting.
• Harris' campaign wants hot mics for the showdown, but the Trump campaign does not.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is waffling on whether he will debate with Vice President Kamala Harris as previously agreed.

And their campaigns are squabbling over terms for the ABC News showdown on Sept. 10.

In a social media post late Sunday night, Trump questioned whether he should debate the Democratic nominee Harris given what the former president suggested would be a hostile setting.

"I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl's(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of [Arkansas Sen.] Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?" Trump wrote in his Truth Social post on Sunday.

"Will panelist Donna Brazil give the questions to the Marxist Candidate like she did for Crooked Hillary Clinton? Will Kamala's best friend, who heads up ABC, do likewise. Where is Liddle' George Slopadopolus hanging out now? Will he be involved. They've got a lot of questions to answer!!! Why did Harris turn down Fox, NBC, CBS, and even CNN? Stay tuned!!!" Trump wrote.

On Monday morning, Trump told NBC News that ABC was "the single worst network for unfairness" and "I think ABC really should be shut out," and said he would rather do the debate on another network.

CNBC has asked ABC for comment.
