Vice President Kamala Harris has called on former President Donald Trump to participate in a second presidential debate, following her acceptance of an invitation for a matchup on October 23. The call for another debate came during a New York City fundraiser where Harris expressed her willingness to engage in further discussions with her opponent.

During the fundraiser, Harris stated, 'By the way, I think we should have another debate. My opponent seems to be looking for an excuse to avoid when he should accept.' This statement reflects Harris's eagerness to engage in a public debate with Trump.

In response to Harris's acceptance of a second debate, Trump raised concerns about the timing, arguing that it would be 'too late' to hold a debate in late October after early voting has already begun. Trump made these remarks during a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he expressed reservations about the feasibility of scheduling another debate.

The issue of timing has emerged as a point of contention between the two candidates, with Harris advocating for a second debate while Trump citing concerns about the practicality of holding a debate so close to the start of early voting. The differing perspectives on the timing of the debate highlight the challenges of coordinating such events during a presidential campaign.

As the election season progresses, the question of whether a second presidential debate will take place remains uncertain. Both Harris and Trump have expressed their positions on the matter, setting the stage for a potential showdown in the coming weeks.
