NEW YORK – US Vice President Kamala Harris calls on her Republican rival Donald Trump to agree to another debate on CNN next month as the November 5 Election Day nears.
Yesterday, former US president Trump rejected doing another debate with his Democratic opponent after Harris’ campaign said she had agreed to an October 23 matchup on CNN, following their September 10 debate on ABC.
“He should accept because I feel very strongly that we owe it to the American people and to the voters to meet once more before Election Day,” Harris tells supporters at a fundraiser in New York City.
“We should have another debate,” she adds. “My opponent is looking for a reason to avoid.”
Representatives for Trump’s campaign could not be immediately reached for reaction to Harris’ comments.
Speaking to supporters at a North Carolina rally yesterday, Trump said: “The problem with another debate is that it’s just too late. Voting has already started.”
Harris acknowledges that early voting has started in some US states but notes that it is a close contest with more than a month to go.
“This race is as close as it could be. This is a margin of error race,” she says.
