CNN — Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday accepted an invitation from CNN to debate former President Donald Trump on October 23, challenging her rival to another engagement on a public stage in the final weeks of the campaign.

Trump on Saturday argued it was “too late” to have another presidential debate because Americans have begun casting their ballots in the 2024 election.

“The problem with another debate is that it’s just too late, voting has already started,” Trump said at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Presidential nominees have traditionally had the final word in a nationally televised October debate following the vice presidential nominees’ debate. Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, is set to square off against Harris’ vice presidential pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on October 1 in a debate hosted by CBS.

The problem is not that it's too late. The problem is that Trump is too scared.
