Trump rejects second debate with Harris

Donald Trump said Thursday he would not take part in another debate with Kamala Harris, as the White House rivals headed back to battleground states that are set to decide a nail-bitingly close US presidential election.

The Republican former president lashed out two days after his first televised clash with the Democratic vice president, when Harris put Trump on the defensive. At a rally in key swing state North Carolina, Harris insisted they should debate again before the November 5 election. Harris wasted no time in responding. She said that she and Trump "owe it to the voters" to have another debate.
