Kamala Harris Campaign Calls For Second Debate

The Kamala Harris campaign immediately called for a second debate between the vice president and former President Donald Trump as Tuesday night’s debate on ABC News wound down.
“Under the bright lights, the American people got to see the choice they will face this fall at the ballot box: between moving forward with Kamala Harris or going backwards with Trump,” Harris’ campaign chair, Jen O’Malley Dillon, said in a statement. “That’s what they saw tonight and what they should see at a second debate in October. Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?”
Democrats and even a few Republicans viewed Harris’ performance during the debate in Philadelphia as superior to Trump’s, and the call for a second debate is likely intended as a show of confidence.
The Trump campaign has reportedly agreed to a debate on Sept. 25, to be moderated by NBC News.
