The Washington Post reported that the campaign had planned to announce its desire for a second debate before the November election.

Fox News reported that executives sent a letter to the Harris and Trump campaigns offering to host another debate with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum as moderators.

The outlet said it proposed a debate in October while early in-person voting gets underway in multiple battleground states, including October 9 in Arizona, October 15 in Georgia and October 16 in North Carolina.

Trump has previously called for multiple debates.
