With another debate looking unlikely between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, “60 Minutes” teased the possibility of two back-to-back interviews with the candidates. It is being billed as one last opportunity for the nominees to make their case for the presidency to a “mass audience” on Oct. 7, 29 days before Election Day, according to an Axios report on Sunday, Sept. 22.
In 2020, a “60 Minutes” episode featuring interviews with President Biden and Trump drew more than 17 million viewers, the biggest audience the show has seen in more than two years.

Trump said an interview is to be announced while Harris’ campaign is reportedly in talks with the show. The “60 Minutes” executive producer expressed confidence in a conversation with The Associated Press on Sept. 12, saying, “This is going to work.”
The show also invited both vice presidential candidates to participate. Meanwhile, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., and Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, will debate on CBS on Oct. 1.
Trump declined a second debate with Harris on CNN which Harris accepted. It would have taken place on Oct. 23. More than 67 million viewers watched Trump and Harris debate on ABC on Sept. 10. Trump argues the CNN debate is too late since he’s done two debates already and votes are already being cast. Harris is skipping the Al Smith Dinner in Manhattan on Oct. 1, a traditional stop for presidential candidates.
