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.

🚫. DO NOT PROCEED BEYOND THIS POINT. LAND MINES AHEAD!!!🚫
No do not do it!!!!
At this point, Trump is better off saying "no" to any future debates and just let Harris' rallies and interviews speak for her.

Another debate can only hurt Trump. He’s not that good at it.
The same person who refused to debate on Fox.
The witch had her chance and blew it. No second chances.
No should be the answer. CNN will break every agreement and when Trump is on stage, nothing he can do.
Best and safest answer is NO.
He was great against Hillary in the Town Hall, but she can lump it, she had her chancecand she blew it.
A dozen more of the Oprah sit-downs should do the trick. Has there ever been a more unserious, vapid, inane, know-nothing airhead running for office?
Unfortunately, the unserious, vapid, inane, know-nothing airhead electorate nods their heads in agreement with her stupid utterings.
OANN should invite both candidates to a debate, then Trump can accept that one.
(No it’s a trap and very late
October surprise will likely drop just before)
What is Trump’s upcoming sentencing date in Merchan’s courtroom? Kamala could be agreeing to the October 23 date because she’s been assured Trump will be sentenced prior to that date.
No. Way.
So she’s gonna debate CNN? About what?

Her Desperation is palatable... The answer is no. She needs this very very badly and Trump doesn’t.
The last debate was terrible for her and great for Trump because Trump doesn’t need to look Presidential... He’s already been President... She needs to look Presidential and standing on the same stage as a Trump, she didn’t pull that off... She looked feeble in comparison to the Donald.
Trump will agree. He can’t help himself. He really could have used a Lee Atwater as a campaign manager.
CNN already had its shot before you RATS tossed Joe to the side of the road.
ABC Linsey Davis claims she decided to fact-check President Trump because the CNN moderators didn’t do it during the debate with incognizant Biden. Now bugger off Camel-toe.
No no no no!!!!!
NO THANK U..Harris and Biden had their dibs on the first two debates..Trump decides what comes next, do it on fox news or NOTHING
