Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday challenged former President Donald Trump to another debate in the lead-up to the US presidential election, with her campaign saying she had accepted a debate invitation from CNN for October 23.

“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 (per CNN). “Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate.”

However, Trump has yet to accept or decline the debate invitation from CNN, which “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,” according to the network.

“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.

“We look forward to receiving a response from both campaigns so the American public can hear more from these candidates as they make their final decision,” CNN said in a statement.
