Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, "invited" former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, to another televised debate on September 21st via social media. Trump declined, stating the debate was "too late." Harris challenged Trump on the social media platform X: "I will be happy to participate in a second presidential debate on October 23rd. I hope Trump will join me." Trump rejected the "invitation" during a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, responding, "The problem with having another debate is it's too late, the voting has already begun."
