Donald Trump has declined Vice President Kamala Harris’ invitation for a second debate, set for October 23, arguing that it comes too late in the election season with early voting already in progress. Harris had accepted CNN’s offer, showing enthusiasm for another match-up with her Republican opponent following their first debate on September 10, which polls suggested Harris had won. Despite this, Trump has stood by his choice, declaring that no further debates will take place before the November 5 election.
