Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has challenged her Republican opponent Donald Trump to a new debate on CNN.
“Vice President Harris is ready to face Donald Trump once again on stage,” her campaign team wrote in a statement. “Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to participate in this debate,” added Democratic spokeswoman Jen O’Malley Dillon.
Harris defied Trump after accepting new invitation from CNN to hold a final debate on October 23, two weeks before the elections on November 5.
Last week, the former Republican president shared on social media that would not agree to participate in a third debate.
Most polls indicate that Harris dominated the September 10 debate, consistently drawing her rival into the issues on which the Republican candidate was least comfortable, particularly his international reputation.
That didn’t stop Trump from claiming that, on the contrary, he was the one who won the debate, while also attacking the impartiality of the two ABC journalists who moderated the discussion.
However, and even so, in the middle of this month Trump said that there would not be a new debate for the presidential campaign, showing himself to be skeptical about the advantages of a new confrontation between the two candidates.
With 45 days to go until the election, the outcome of the presidential election remains more undecided than ever, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris neck and neck in several of the seven key states where everything will likely be decided.
The Republican will be campaigning today in one of these states, North Carolina.
Early in-person voting for the U.S. presidential election began Friday in three states, a milestone that kicks off a six-week race to election day in November after a summer of intense political unrest.
Voters lined up to cast ballots in Minnesota, South Dakota and Virginia, the three states with the first in-person voting opportunities, to be followed by about a dozen more in mid-October.
The start of early in-person voting comes after a turbulent summer in US politics, which included President Joe Biden dropping out of the race for the White House and Vice President Kamala Harris replacing him as the Democratic Party’s candidate in the November 5 election.
