The next electoral debate featuring candidates for the President of the United States is scheduled for 23 October. Kamala Harris, the Democratic representative, has confirmed her participation. "I hope Donald Trump will join me," wrote the Vice President. Her opponent, however, has found a reason to avoid this confrontation.
Kamala Harris is eager to face her opponent, the Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump, once again. Commentators considered the previous debate a victory for Harris. Even polls conducted by Trump-friendly Fox News supported this conclusion.
It is no surprise that Harris is keen on another bout. It could boost her supporters and secure victory in the November presidential race.
Will there be another pre-election showdown in the USA? Kamala Harris gladly accepted the invitation
Kamala Harris enthusiastically accepted the invitation. "I will gladly accept a second presidential debate on October 23. I hope Donald Trump will join me," she wrote on platform X. However, it seems unlikely that this will happen. During a Wilmington, North Carolina rally, Donald Trump addressed the issue. However, he did not give a firm refusal.
"She’s done one debate, I’ve done two. It’s too late to do another, I’d love to in many ways but it’s too late," stated the former US president during a speech, reminding that he faced Joe Biden on 28 June and Kamala Harris on 10 September, who replaced the sitting president seeking re-election.
On the platform Truth Social, Donald Trump wrote that "THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE". He added that he won during the September meeting with Kamala Harris.
"When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH. Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate," he wrote.
However, in an interview with ABC News journalists in Philadelphia, he later said he "might" participate in the debate. This will happen if he "got in the right mood".
