"We still owe voters a debate," Harris, US vice-president and Democratic presidential candidate, said on the 12th local time after the Republican presidential candidate and former president Trump said he would no longer participate in the presidential debate. Harris said of the presidential debate at a rally in North Carolina on the same day: "Trump and I had our first debate two nights ago. I think we have a responsibility to have another debate because this election and what it is about are incredibly important."
