Harris accepts CNN debate invitation for October 23, again challenging Trump to another showdown
CNN ^ | Sat September 21, 2024 | Samantha Waldenberg

Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday accepted an invitation from CNN to debate former President Donald Trump on October 23, challenging her rival to another engagement on a public stage in the final weeks of the campaign.

“Vice President Harris is ready for another opportunity to share a stage with Donald Trump,” campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. “Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate.”

Harris tweeted Saturday that she “will gladly accept a second presidential debate” and that she hopes Trump “will join” her on October 23.

The debate would mirror the first 2024 presidential debate in June between Trump and President Joe Biden, taking place at CNN’s studios in Atlanta, according to the network.

Trump suggested last week that he might be open to participating in a third presidential debate following his September 10 face-off with Harris hosted by ABC in Philadelphia. “Maybe if I got in the right mood,” he told reporters during a stop in California, after previously posting on Truth Social, “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!”

Harris’ campaign last week dismissed Trump’s announcement that there would not be another debate, with one senior adviser saying the former president “changes his position every day.” The vice president, meanwhile, immediately called for another debate, saying, “I believe we owe it to the voters.”

For October, CNN offered the campaigns a format similar to the June debate, in which Trump and Harris would field moderators’ questions for 90 minutes without a live studio audience.

“Both Vice President Harris and former President Trump received an invitation to participate in a CNN debate this fall as we believe the American people would benefit from a second debate between the two candidates for President of the United States,” the network said in a statement.

Only if the moderators are conservatives...ABC is being shown as corrupt as is CNN no doubt.

President Trump should decline. He has nothing to gain from another debate.

Nope. Not gonna happen. Never. Gigglin has provided everything she is capable of providing to the media. The barrel is empty. Nothing left to provide.

No more "debates". Who wants to go into an arena one against many, against opponents who have been given the questions, and who have the "moderators" activly participating against you. Never never never again. "Fool me once … "

Actually, CNN was fair to Trump in the last debate but it was a palace coup against Biden.

If Trump” debates” that skank again he deserves to lose. He might think CNN was fair to him with Biden, but this one would be an ambush from the minute it starts.

There are no "conservatives" left in the mainstream media. Who? Chris "Wallik" Wallace? Yeah, right.

And anyone left at Fox must stay away. Fox is toxic. Just say no. Waste of time, lots to lose, nothing to gain.

President Trump should arrange a debate on X Spaces and have Tucker and Meghan Kelly as moderators and tell Harris, “We had a farce of a debate on ABC. Now, let’s have a true debate on X Spaces, or no debate.”

She knows her campaign is collapsing. Another ambush is her last hope.

A debate on CNN is an admission by Kamala and CNN and the entire left that,Kamala did not win the last debate, and they want a do-over.

If you win, convincingly or even slightly, you want to leave things alone and don’t want to risk losing your advantage. She’s losing the argument, big time!
