Following the conclusion of the ABC News Presidential Debate in Philadelphia, Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has called for a second debate with former President Donald Trump. The Harris campaign announced this request immediately after the first debate, signaling their readiness for another round of discussions. The proposed second debate is suggested to take place before the November 5th election, in addition to an October 1 debate between both major-party vice-presidential nominees. Harris's campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon, stated, 'Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?' The call for a second debate comes after a performance where Harris was seen by many as having outperformed Trump.
