Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted CNN’s invitation for an Oct. 23 presidential debate, with her campaign calling on former president Donald Trump to do the same.
“Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate,” Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said Saturday in a statement. “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.”
Trump, who debated Harris on Sept. 10, has so far said he is not interested in another debate.
Trump has claimed he won the debate against Harris, though most polls show the vice president as the victor. Harris has been saying on the campaign trail that her standoff with Trump was “fun” and that he owed it to the public to face her onstage again.
“It would be unprecedented in modern history for there to just be one general election debate,” O’Malley Dillon said. “Debates offer a unique chance for voters to see the candidates side by side and take stock of their competing visions for America.”
CNN said the debate would follow the format of the June 27 faceoff between President Joe Biden and Trump, taking place at the company’s Atlanta studios and without a live audience.
Harris’s campaign, which originally sought to change the rules that had been sought by allies of Biden before he ended his presidential bid, said it would accept muted microphones and other restrictions during a CNN debate.

No
No it’s a trap and very late
October surprise will likely drop just before
How about you do a dozen non-scripted interviews between now and then.
“You” meaning Harris. Not you.
Nah. Playin’ golf. Care to join me?
A CNN debate? As if the ABC debate wasn’t biased and fraudulent enough.
Trump needs to counter with a Debate moderated by Greg Gutfeld and Tucker Carlson.
Art of the deal. She seems desperate for another debate. Trump should make her accept terms that don’t give her all the advantages.
She turned down two debates, one at Fox News. Agree to do one hosted by Newsmax.

Fine, Harris picks the network, Trump picks the moderators...
Exactly. Trump should tell her to go out of her bubble and converse with the American people instead of dodging interviews.
Trump shouldn’t waste his time,,,,,CNN and Harris will can the questions and answers just like the ABC fiasco.
October 23? Half of the votes will be cast by then.
Enough “debates”, when we know it will become another Tag Team match. Even Trump has had enough of playing their tedious game just for ratings.
With Barry and Hillary as moderators right Comrade Harris? Get lost.
Who benefits most from these rigged debates?
Follow the money.
Left-wing news shows and their advertisers.
Who benefits the least?
Republican voters hoping for a fair and honest debate that addresses their issues and concerns.
My entire life the republican party has accepted the most unfair Horse S rules for every debate every time the democrats suggest them. When the hell are we gonna learn??!?!?!
If he accepts this then i just quit.......
Trump doesn’t need another debate, he should just continue to campaign like he’s already President, while defining Harris for Americans that don’t know who she is.
If she doesn’t like it, she can go on a media tour.
