Harris consents to CNN debate on Oct. 23, Trump says ‘it’s too overdue’

Vice President Kamala Harris stated Saturday that she can be detectable to debating former President Donald Trump for a 2d presen in October, forward of the November U.S. presidential election.

Jen O’Malley Dillon, chair of Harris and vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s marketing campaign, stated in a statement that Harris has approved CNN’s invitation to a debate on Oct. 23. That moment is lower than two weeks sooner than the election.

“I will gladly accept a second presidential debate on October 23. I hope @realDonaldTrump will join me,” Harris wrote in a social media post on X.

It isn’t the primary presen the Harris camp has proposed some other fit. In a while then Harris and Trump participated in a debate hosted via ABC Information on Sept. 10, O’Malley Dillon stated Harris was once in a position for spherical two in opposition to him. However as Harris was once elevating thousands and thousands of bucks following the marketing campaign, Trump declined to discuss her once more.

In a Sept. 12 post at the Trump Media & Technology Group’s social community, Reality Social, the Republican presidential nominee stated there can be “no third debate.”

On Saturday, a Trump marketing campaign spokesperson referred CNBC again to Trump’s Reality Social publish about there being deny 3rd debate.

“She’s done one debate,” Trump stated at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Saturday. “I’ve done two. It’s too late to do another. I’d love to, in many ways, but it’s too late. The voting is cast.”

The primary 2024 debate for Trump was once in opposition to the wave president, Joe Biden. CNN hosted the development in June. However Biden struggled at the debate level. Democratic donors expressed concerns about Biden’s possibilities, and Democratic individuals of Congress called on Biden to finish his election bid. In August, Harris accepted the presidential nomination on the Democratic Nationwide Conference.

“Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate,” O’Malley Dillon wrote in her remark. “It is the same format and setup as the CNN debate he attended and said he won in June, when he praised CNN’s moderators, rules and ratings.”
