"This is a shocking pick," he said about Harris announcing the Minnesota governor as her&nbsp;running mate.</p>

<p>He also compared Walz to Senator Bernie Sanders, who is known to be a leftist-socialist. "He's probably about the same as Bernie Sanders, probably more so..."</p>

US Elections 2024$: Donald Trump back tracks on September 10 debate with Kamala Harris on ABC

<p>US Vice President Kamala Harris's husband Doug&nbsp;Emhoff on Sunday (Aug 4) admitted to having an extramarital affair during his first marriage. The Second Gentleman's admission came after a <em>Daily Mail </em>report&nbsp;claimed that&nbsp;he had gotten his children's nanny pregnant.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Emhoff had a fling with a nanny named Najen Naylor who taught at the private school, attended by his two children. The incident took place more than 15 years ago when he was still married to his then-wife Kerstin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions. I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side," Emhoff said in a statement provided&nbsp;to <em>CNN</em>.</p>

<p>According to the British tabloid, Naylor did not keep the baby, a close friend with knowledge of the pregnancy revealed. However, it is not clear what exactly the friend meant by 'not keeping the baby'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Emhoff got married to Harris in 2014 but his relationship with&nbsp;Kerstin had ended years ago before he even started dating the future vice president.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, the news about the relationship and the infidelity were known to Joe Biden's vetting committee four years ago when Harris was undergoing the running mate process before being picked as the VP nominee.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the news breaking out in the public domain may have caused concerns in the Harris' camp, especially ahead of the hotly-anticipated debate against Donald Trump, tentatively scheduled for next month.&nbsp;</p>

United States (US) Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' campaign on Saturday (Aug 3) dismissed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's announcement that he was willing to debate her on Fox News network. Trump's announcement came after he declined to participate in a previously scheduled debate on ABC on September 10. 'Trump running straight to Fox News...' In a statement, Harris' campaign communications director Michael Tyler said that Trump was running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. "He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10," Tyler added. Trump's debate offer On Friday, the Republican presidential candidate said he agreed to an offer from Fox News to hold a debate with Harris on September 4. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, "Rules will be similar to the rules of my debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his party, but with a full arena audience."

US presidential election: Harris campaign dismisses Trump's debate announcement

<p>Former US president Donald Trump on Friday (Aug 2) agreed to debate Vice President Kamala Harris in an event moderated by Fox News on September 4. It will be the first instance when Trump squares off against his new presidential rival after Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid last month,&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump took to his official handle on Truth Social to inform about the presidential debate where he took a dig at Biden.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant," said Trump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The debate will be held in Pennsylvania, in front of a live audience, informed Trump who also explained why it would not be broadcast on ABC News.</p>

<p>"I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest. The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined," said Trump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!"</p>

<h2><strong>Harris dares Trump</strong></h2>

<p>Earlier this week, Harris, the Democrat presidential nominee dared Trump to debate her before the November election.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking during a campaign rally in Atlanta, Harris slammed her Republican rival and said, "He won't debate, but he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me."</p>

<p>"Well, Donald, I do hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage because, as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face," she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, prior to announcing his participation in the debate, Trump in an interview said he had mixed feelings about debating Harris, adding that&nbsp;he wanted to but could also "make a case for not doing it".&nbsp;</p>
