The campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted an invitation to participate in a second debate with former President Donald Trump on October 23, hosted by CNN. Campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon stated that the American people deserve another opportunity to see the candidates debate before casting their ballots. This decision comes after Harris mentioned the possibility of another debate at an event in Georgia. However, a Trump campaign spokesperson indicated that there will be no third debate.
The statement from O’Malley Dillon comes after the first debate between Trump and Harris on September 10, hosted by ABC. An October 23 debate would occur less than two weeks before Election Day, but weeks into early voting in some states. The potential debate would follow previous debates between Trump and President Joe Biden on CNN in June.
The Harris campaign’s willingness to participate in a second debate reflects their commitment to providing voters with more information about the candidates’ views and policies. The decision comes amid ongoing discussions about the format and rules for the upcoming debate. This development will surely be closely monitored by voters and political observers as the election draws closer.
