Trump and Harris may face off in a CNN debate on Oct. 23.

• According to the chair of Kamala Harris's campaign for president, she has accepted CNN's invitation to a debate on Oct. 23.
• Earlier this month, a spokesperson for the former President Donald Trump's campaign repeated Trump's statement that there would be no third debate.

Kamala Harris expressed her willingness to debate Donald Trump again in October before the presidential election.

Jen O'Malley Dillon, chair of Tim Walz's campaign, announced that Harris has agreed to participate in a CNN debate on October 23, which is just under two weeks before the election.

I am open to a second presidential debate on October 23, and I hope @realDonaldTrump will participate, as Harris wrote in an X post.

O'Malley Dillon said that Harris was prepared for a second debate against him shortly after their first one, but Trump declined to face her again after she raised millions of dollars following the campaign.

On Truth Social, the Republican presidential candidate announced that there would be "no third debate."

On Saturday, a Trump campaign spokesperson directed CNBC to Trump's Truth Social post regarding the absence of a third debate.

In June, CNN hosted the first 2024 debate for Trump, who faced off against the current president, Joe Biden. However, Biden struggled on the debate stage, causing concerns among Democratic donors about his prospects. Following this, Democratic members of Congress urged Biden to end his election bid. In August, Kamala Harris was nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate at the Democratic National Convention.

"O'Malley Dillon stated that Donald Trump should have no issue with this debate as it follows the same format and setup as the CNN debate he attended in June, where he praised CNN's moderators, rules, and ratings."

Pimco's Libby Cantrill says that although Harris won the debate, he didn't influence voter decisions.
