Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign declined invitations to additional September debates with Donald Trump and JD Vance in a statement on Thursday.
Harris campaign spokesperson Michael Tyler said in the statement that “the debate about debates is over.” He confirmed Harris will participate in a debate with Trump hosted by ABC on September 10 and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will participate in a debate with Vance hosted by CBS on October 1.
Harris is open to an additional debate with Trump in October, a senior campaign adviser said, but the details will not be settled until the first debate is in the books.
“Assuming Trump does the first,” the adviser said, Harris is “open to a second debate.”
The statement comes after Vance said on Wednesday he accepted invitations from CBS to participate in its debate and from CNN for an additional debate in September.
At a news conference last week, Trump agreed to participate in the ABC debate with Harris and said he’d also accepted debate invitations from Fox News and NBC for additional debates in September.
