Will there be a second Harris-Trump debate? Where things stand between the two candidates
The first face off between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris ended with a few fireworks and a request from Harris' campaign to meet again.
Harris and Trump met for the first time at Tuesday's debate at the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia addressing critical issues for voters involving the economy, abortion rights and the southern border.
Trump previously hesitated to contest Harris at the scheduled Sept 10 debate due to his desire for Fox News to host instead of ABC, which ended up hosting Tuesday night's debate. After agreeing to the debate, Trump also said he would participate in additional debates in September.
But the Harris-Walz campaign remained largely silent until Tuesday night, moments after the debate concluded, when campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon called for another Harris-Trump debate in October.
"The only actual plan Trump has is Project 2025, which would raise costs for the middle class and take America backwards," Dillon said. "That's what they saw tonight and what they should see at the second debate in October. Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate."
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to the offer Tuesday night.
