US Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted an invitation from CNN to participate in a debate on October 23 and hopes Republican rival Donald Trump will face her again less than two weeks ahead of the November 5 presidential election, the Democratic candidate's campaign said on Saturday.

Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate," Jen O'Malley Dillon, the chair of the Harris campaign, said in a statement on Saturday.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Harris and Trump debated each other for the first time on September 10, in a contest that polls showed was won by the Democratic nominee. Trump last week said he would not participate in another debate against Harris before the election.
"THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" the former president wrote on his social media site Truth Social last Thursday. Trump debated President Joe Biden in June before his match-up against Harris. Biden's shaky performance in that debate rattled Democrats and prompted strategists to ask whether their party should take the unprecedented step of replacing the 81-year old president as their candidate.
