Harris campaign accepts Oct. 23 CNN debate, urging Trump to do same

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.

He is a fool to accept

She is the one who needs it. Not him

OMG. I heard this a few minutes ago but thought it was a joke. Nope...

Harris’ critics sound off after VP is endorsed by IRS-affiliated union: ‘Get ready to be taxed to death' The move 'should tell you all what her plans are for us,' one pro-Trump commentator said on X

she agreed to, backed out, agreed to again then cheatingly and underhandedly changed some agreed upon rules of the last one to favor herself and thinks she actually “won”.

but she needs another debate because the public knows she only “won” by having he mods on her side and cheating tactics.

Trump has much better and more important things to do than play games with the cheat-mala.

Trump should agree to a debate with Elon Musk as the moderator

She’s not worthy of consideration to another debate- not only that, neither of her parents were naturalized citizens at the time of her birth. She’s not even eligible to be Veep or POTUS. Trump should demand she do a presser with NEWSMAX or Heritage Foundation

Trump should accept. He mopped the floor with her during the last debate, and this would give him a large audience to listen to him talk about important issues such as illegals and the economy.

Tell her only a neutral moderator and platform. Joe Rogan can moderate and stream it on X, YouTube and Rumble. Trump better not agree to another one sided debate against Kamal and the moderators.

They question, moderate, and fact-check in bad faith.

They lie during the debate, and don't acknowledge Trump's points.

On the other hand, she can do absolutely no wrong in such a CNN setting. No matter how ridiculous she is.

So it is futile to have a "debate" in these circumstances.

Best strategy for Trump is refuse, thereby forcing Kameltoe to get herself and her brilliance out there all on her lonesome. She has been very impressive at this since the debate.

With each passing day her inane speech and intracranial vacuum become more and more obvious.

Even for the cretins who stand behind her at rallies and smile and cheer for her.

Even they are gagging on her prodigious stupidity.

She is embarrassing and a cringemaker wherever she opens her gaping pie-hole and does that ridiculous alky cackle.
