The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already. Not only do I accept the CBS debate on October 1st, I accept the CNN debate on September 18th as well. I look forward to seeing you at both! https://t.co/63FyI99dKU

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has only agreed to debate former President Donald Trump on Sept. 10. He announced on X last weekend that he will debate Harris in Grand Rapids as well, but the Harris campaign has not confirmed that information. The Harris-Walz campaign made a convoluted statement on X about additional debates.
The general election is Nov. 5.
