Sanders, a US senator from Vermont, is still locked in a tight primary battle against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, while Trump effectively clinched the Republican party’s nomination earlier this month when his two remaining rivals dropped out.

Kimmel said he asked Trump about the debate at Sanders’ suggestion.

“Yes, I am. How much is he going to pay me?”
