Will Trump and Harris meet for a second presidential debate?

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump met in Philadelphia for their first debate – here is the full US election debate schedule

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump faced off in a live TV debate ahead of the US election.
It was the first time the pair met in a debate and came as the race for the White House changed dramatically since Joe Biden stepped down.
Trump was widely considered to have come off the worst in the first debate on Sep 10 in Philadelphia and the Harris campaign is believed to have raised more than $40 million in the 24 hours after the broadcast.
But the Republicans clawed back some ground with the VP debate on Oct 1 when JD Vance was widely credited with wiping the floor with his Democratic opposition Tim Walz.
There was speculation the Trump and Ms Harris would clash again on CNN, but after the former missed a deadline to agree, the chances of a second debate petered out. 
Since then, Ms Harris has been on a media blitz, doing a string of appearances including the controversial 60 Minutes interview, where her answers appeared to have been doctored by CBS.  
She will appear on Fox News on Wednesday in her latest media charm offensive.
Trump has ruled out a second debate with Ms Harris before Americans go to the polls on November 5.
The former president said he would not appear on stage with his rival again and told her to instead focus on illegal migration and inflation.
The Harris campaign had called for a second debate before polling day shortly after the end of the first debate.
Writing on Truth Social, Mr Trump confirmed the decision and compared Ms Harris to a boxer calling for a rematch after losing a fight.
“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH,’” he wrote. “Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate.
“She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS. KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!”
