Trump rejected the invite. File picture: SAUL LOEB / AFP Donald Trump on Saturday rejected a second debate against Kamala Harris before the November 5 election, saying it was"too late" with early voting already under way in some states.
"The American people deserve another opportunity to see Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debate before they cast their ballots," her campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon said in a statement.Trump claimed during a campaign rally in the battleground state of North Carolina that he would like to debate — calling it"good entertainment value" — but the start of early voting in some states had taken the air out of the idea.
His exit from the race left Trump, 78, now the oldest ever presidential nominee, against a much younger Harris, 59. A gunman was discovered on his golf course in Florida last Sunday, with security agents foiling any plan to harm the former president.
