Harris Pressures Trump for New CNN Debate

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris urged Republican rival Donald Trump to participate in a new debate on CNN next month. Trump's camp declined the invitation following Harris' campaign announcement of her acceptance for the Oct. 23 debate.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday pressed her Republican challenger, Donald Trump, to accept a proposal for a new debate on CNN next month.

The call came after Trump, the former President, rejected another face-off against his Democratic opponent. Harris' campaign team had announced her agreement to an Oct. 23 debate on CNN.

The contrast in responses highlights the ongoing contentious nature of the campaign as the election approaches.
