In what sense has he agreed something if no one else involved knows about it? I think the right verb here is 'suggests'.

He made a post saying that's the "deal". In a way it's a brave brazen way to try and get a venue change. Harris would have to basically insult Fox News and their entire viewership to avoid looking like she's walking away.

Which (insulting fox and their viewers) she should do regardless, tbh

If she can go on Fox News and score a couple points against him it'll go very well for her though; going into the proverbial lions den and coming out the other side

No (current) Harris voters are watching Fox News right now, she only stands to gain votes if she handles herself.

It won’t. There is nothing to gain in debating baby Donnie on Fox News.

Yeah putting this on Fox seems like a super risky move on the Trump campaign's part, for not that much gain.

Gov Newsom destroyed when he was on Fox. I don't think that Fox will repeat their mistake.

That's a quick way to lose an election. Almost like calling people deplorable. That worked great didn't it?

That was one of the very few good things she did. Hilary is just a deeply unlikable person.

Insulting voters is never a good move in an election.

Again, it's not a deal if you don't have agreement. That's not a deal, it's an offer.

I know that and you know that. But do the people who just watch Sinclair News know that?

That's what Trump is doing to ABC right now

And she's calling him out in a way I couldn't see happening before. I'm glad to see it.
