(VOVWORLD) - Donald Trump on Saturday rejected another debate with Vice President Kamala Harris before the US presidential election, hours after the Democratic candidate's campaign said she had agreed to an October 23 matchup with her Republican rival on CNN.

Trump stuck to his previous position that there would not be another debate before voters go to the polls in the November 5 election.
"The problem with another debate is that it's just too late. Voting has already started," the former US president told supporters at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Harris and Trump debated each other for the first time on September 10, in a contest that polls showed she won.
Trump debated President Joe Biden in June. Biden withdrew from the race for the White House in July.
