In a bold move, former President Donald Trump has accepted an invitation from Fox News for a vice presidential debate, even though he has yet to select his running mate for the 2024 election. The debate is proposed to take place at Virginia State University, marking a significant moment as it would be the first Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to host such an event.
Fox News Media announced on Friday that it had extended invitations to both the Trump and Biden campaigns for their respective vice presidential candidates to debate following the nomination conventions of both political parties.

Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, responded positively to this request via a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. In his statement, Trump emphasized his acceptance of the debate on behalf of his yet-to-be-chosen running mate and called on Vice President Kamala Harris to agree to the debate. He concluded his message with his signature rallying cry, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
This announcement follows President Joe Biden’s recent challenge to Trump for a debate, which he issued earlier in the week. Biden’s challenge was swiftly followed by CNN’s offer to host a debate on June 27 in Atlanta and ABC News planning another debate for September 10. Both Trump and Biden have accepted these invitations, setting the stage for a series of high-profile debates leading up to the 2024 election.
Trump’s decision to engage in the vice presidential debate contrasts with his strategy during the Republican primary season, where he notably skipped all primary debates. Despite this, Trump has previously expressed his willingness to face Biden in a debate, responding to Biden’s social media challenge by recalling their encounters during the 2020 election. Biden pointed out that Trump lost two debates to him in the last election cycle and noted Trump’s subsequent absence from the debate stage.
