The Vice President will meet with voters on 23rd October during a live CNN programme. Trump may want to hide from voters, but Vice President Harris is pleased to have the opportunity to share her vision for a new path for the country. She welcomes CNN's invitation to the live town hall meeting on 23rd October in Pennsylvania, said Harris's campaign manager, O’Malley Dillon.
Trump refuses once again
CNN had originally planned to organize another debate between the candidates. However, after Donald Trump rejected this proposal, CNN invited the candidates to separate meetings where they would have the opportunity to answer voters' questions. Trump's campaign has yet to respond to CNN's renewed offer.
On Wednesday night, Donald Trump categorically ruled out participating in further debates, claiming he "has already won two debates" and is leading in the polls.
"It is very late in the process, voting has already begun - there will be no rematch!" the former president wrote on his social media platform. This was a response to yet another invitation from Fox News for a debate.
Previously, Trump also declined a pre-election interview on the programme "60 Minutes," breaking with a 50-year tradition of such interviews.
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are set to participate in a town hall (the debate allows questions from the audience) hosted by the Spanish-language network Univision. Harris will appear on Thursday in Las Vegas, and Trump is scheduled to appear on the programme on 16th October.
