It’s still unclear whether a debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will take place, but if it does, it will likely be moderated by Jose Canseco.
With the balance of power in this year’s presidential election shifting dramatically following President Biden’s decision to drop out of the race and both sides struggling, the former MLB slugger took to his X account on Tuesday to offer his support during this time of national turmoil.
“I should moderate the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris,” he wrote.
He should moderate a debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

ABC was scheduled to host the second and final of two Trump-Biden debates in September. But with Biden’s decision to drop out of the race, no one knows if that debate, or any debate at all, will actually take place. But the former president and current vice president will likely meet at least once. Trump has already said he’s open to debating Harris not just once, but multiple times if it can be arranged.
“Of course. I would love to. I think it’s important,” Trump said of Tuesday’s debate with Harris.
“In fact, I intend to do more than one debate,” Trump said.
If the debate does take place, ABC would likely want to host it, as it is also set to host the next one, but Fox News has also offered to host a Trump-Harris debate with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum as moderators.
Either way, ABC and Fox have had the opportunity to host debates in the past, and I think we can all agree that a debate moderated by Jose Canseco is exactly what the country needs right now.
