NBC News Radio, I'm Lisa Taylor. Donald Trump says he's agreed to three debates in September against VP Kamala Harris, at a press event from his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. Trump said the debates would be on Fox News, ABC, and NBC. "But I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight. Why is it that millions of people were allowed to come into our country from prisons, from jails, from mental institutions, and St. Asylums?" Trump has not indicated if the Harris campaign has agreed to the debates. The two tickets have been engaged in a back-and-forth over a debate agreement. This was Trump's first public appearance since Harris became the nominee and selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walsh as a running mate.
