(NewsNation) — Bill O’Reilly said Donald Trump is “the only person in the world” who can “define” Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 election.
The debate between Trump and Harris won’t provide “any specificity,” O’Reilly said Wednesday on “CUOMO,” unless the former president can “politely make statements” about the Biden-Harris administration and get the debate off script.
He also said that if Trump doesn’t win the Tuesday debate, he will likely lose the election to Harris.

Harris has accepted the rules set forth for next week’s debate, although the Democratic nominee said the decision not to keep both candidates’ microphones live throughout the matchup will be to her disadvantage.
The development, which came Wednesday by way of a letter from Harris’ campaign to host network ABC News, seemed to mark a conclusion to the debate over microphone muting, which had for a time threatened to derail the debate.
Harris’ acceptance of the debate rules came as Trump — using a night he had proposed as a debate with Harris on Fox News Channel — instead participated in a solo town hall with host Sean Hannity in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a version of debate preparation with a longtime ally who queried him about his plans to take on the Democratic nominee.
