A statement posted to the show's Twitter account said, "Both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down" for interviews.

In a statement posted to its Twitter page, the NRA said it canceled an event the former president was reportedly attending "due to scheduling conflicts." However, it is "committed to ensuring Donald Trump wins in November."

In a statement to Politico's "Playbook," Trump's national press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied reports that the former president is "exhausted."

"President Trump is running laps around Kamala Harris on the campaign trail," she said. “And has done media interviews every day this week. He has more energy and a harder work ethic than anyone in politics.” Leavitt asserted that Trump "has never backed down from any interview."

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris took a jab at the former president canceling appearances at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
