Kamala Harris has challenged Donald Trump to a second debate ahead of the presidential election, but Trump has rejected the idea, stating that it is too late as early voting has already begun. Harris’s campaign has accepted CNN’s invitation for a debate on October 23, with hopes to show her command of the issues and urge voters to turn the page on Trump.
Despite Trump’s refusal, Harris remains open to a second debate and hopes Trump will join her. Polls show the race between the two candidates is close, particularly in battleground states. Experts suggest that debates may have a minimal impact on presidential campaigns, but Harris’s performance in the first debate against Trump seemed to boost her campaign.
According to experts at the Brookings Institution, the September debate appeared to give Harris a push, while Trump’s performance pleased his base but did not attract new supporters significantly. With early voting underway and the election just a few weeks away, both campaigns are eager to make their final case to voters. CNN has proposed a debate between the two candidates and is waiting for a response from both campaigns to give the American public more insight into their platforms and leadership styles.
