Harris wants 2nd debate
Trump: “I’ve got two behind me, it’s too late”
US presidential candidate Kamala Harris has once again challenged her rival Donald Trump to another TV debate. But the Republican has declined.
The 78-year-old explained during a campaign appearance on Saturday in the state of North Carolina: "She took part in one debate. I have two behind me. It's too late for another debate. I would love to in many ways, but it's too late."
Harris had already challenged her Republican rival to a second debate shortly after her first televised debate with Trump on September 10 - but the former president declined. "There will not be a third debate," Trump declared at the time on his online platform Truth Social - counting not only his duel against Harris, but also the one with President Joe Biden on June 27, which had triggered a heated discussion about the mental state of the incumbent. As a consequence, Biden decided not to run for office again.
According to polls and the prevailing opinion of political commentators, Harris had won the first debate against Trump. She put the Republican on the defensive with numerous targeted attacks. In a flash poll conducted by CNN, 63% of respondents saw her as the winner, compared to 37% for Trump. The former president, on the other hand, argued that he had won the televised debate.
Harris: "Voters deserve a second duel"
"It would be a first in modern history for there to be only one debate in the presidential election," argued Harris' campaign team. The voters deserve another TV debate to get an idea of the "competing visions for America", they argue.
