**Kamala Harris' Campaign Challenges Trump to Second Debate in New Ad**

In a surprising move, Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign rolled out a new advertisement urging former President Donald Trump to engage in another debate with her. This ad was posted on Trump’s own social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday.

Truth Social, created by Trump in early 2022 following his ban from other platforms like Twitter, touts itself as a haven for free speech with minimal moderation. Trump has sporadically returned to X, formerly known as Twitter, but he primarily uses Truth Social for his communications.

Traditionally, Harris and her campaign have leaned towards mainstream social media for their outreach. However, in a strategic shift, they have been increasingly active on Trump's favored platform. The latest ad is a 30-second clip sharply criticizing Trump for his reluctance to commit to another debate with Harris.

The advertisement begins with scenes of football players in action, underscored by a voiceover declaring, "Winners never back down from a challenge. Champions know it’s anytime, anyplace." This is a clear jab at Trump's previous insistence on debating President Joe Biden earlier this year. The tone shifts with, "But losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home," while showing a clip of Trump missing a putt on the golf course.

The ad then transitions to footage from a Harris rally in Georgia, held in late July, where the Vice President directly addresses Trump, "Well Donald, I do hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage. If you got something to say, say it to my face."

Harris and Trump had their initial and possibly sole debate on September 10. Post-debate polls generally indicated that Harris either slightly advanced or maintained a narrow lead over Trump.

Recently, Harris accepted an invitation from CNN for a second debate scheduled for October 23, mere days before the November 5 presidential election. This debate would follow similar rules to the Trump-Biden debate hosted by CNN in late June, where Trump was perceived to have outperformed Biden. Subsequently, Biden withdrew from the race on July 21, endorsing Harris.

Despite showing initial interest, Trump recently expressed reluctance at a Wilmington, North Carolina rally. He remarked, "I've already done two [debates]," and added that although it would be "good entertainment value," he believes it "is just too late" as early voting has already commenced in states like Minnesota, South Dakota, and Virginia. Trump also referenced his final 2020 debate with Biden on October 22, a period when early voting was already active in several states, drawing parallels to his 2016 debate timeline with Hillary Clinton.

The anticipation builds as voters and political analysts alike wonder if a second Harris-Trump debate will materialize before the election.
