A debate between the former president and incumbent Joe Biden had been scheduled on rival network ABC News for 10 September and Ms Harris agreed to take Mr Biden’s place in it.

But Mr Trump said the ABC debate had been "terminated" by Mr Biden leaving the race. Ms Harris is yet to comment on the new Fox News proposal.

The two candidates will go head-to-head for the presidency on 5 November, after Ms Harris was formally chosen as the Democratic nominee on Friday.

If the Fox News debate goes ahead, it will be the second presidential debate of the election cycle - and the first between Ms Harris and Trump.
