Fox News has invited Donald Trump and Kamala Harris to participate in another debate before Americans cast their ballots.

Fox has offered the candidates the opportunity to debate each other in Pennsylvania on two potential dates: Thursday, Oct. 24 or Sunday, Oct. 27. Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate the proposed debate.

The network claimed in a statement addressed to the Trump and Harris campaign that the final debate would be an “opportunity for each candidate to make his or her closing arguments” before November. And they referenced a New York Times op-ed which called for Harris to debate on Fox News.

“As made clear in The New York Times on Monday: ‘Harris Should Offer to Debate Trump Again – On Fox’ — this would present an opportunity for each candidate to make his or her closing argument,” said Fox News Media president and executive editor Jay Wallace in a statement.

Wallace added, “We’re including proposed criteria and format, which mirror those of the CNN & ABC debates; as well as data on our broad audience reach. We appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to foster informed political dialogue at this pivotal moment for our nation.”

The rules proposed by Fox states that it will mute a candidate’s microphone when the time belongs to the another candidate. Moreover, Trump and Harris will not be permitted to interact with their campaign staff during commercial breaks

CNN has offered to host another debate on Oct. 23 — with the Harris campaign accepting the offer.

  1. Why are we still harping on this? Get over it, President Trump said no, and his reason was valid. Instead of pushing for harris, continue to run her past interviews from 2019.

  2. Here’s the thing about President Trump…
    he means what he says! NO!
    He has no incentive to further engage.
    He has nothing to gain, and she has
    everything to lose.
    No more debates.

  3. HARRIS said on live TV she would not change a thing her adminstration has done.

    NOTHING TO DEBATE.

    She’s a bad poker player. NO DEBATE.
