Help with my JS Promise code

My code, when the button is pushed, is supposed to retruve back all of the current astronoughts in space, but I keep getting the error, "Uncaught ReferenceError: response is not defined at HTMLButtonElement.<anonymous> (promises.js:37)" and I can't figure out what it means. Can anyone help me?

here is my code,

const astrosUrl = 'http://api.open-notify.org/astros.json';
const wikiUrl = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/';
const peopleList = document.getElementById('people');
const btn = document.querySelector('button');

function getProfiles(json) {
  const profiles = json.people.map( person => {
    const craft = person.craft;
    return fetch(wikiUrl + person.name)
            .then( response = response.json() )
            .then (profile => {
              return {...profile, craft};
            })
            .catch( err => console.log('Error fetching Wiki', err) )
  }); 
  return Promise.all(profiles);
}

function generateHTML(data) {
  data.forEach( person => {
    const section = document.createElement('section');
    peopleList.appendChild(section);
    section.innerHTML = `
      <img src=${data.thumbnail.source}>
      <span>${person.craft}</span>
      <h2>${person.title}</h2>
      <p>${person.description}</p>
      <p>${person.extract}</p>
    `;
  });
}

btn.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
  event.target.textContent = "Loading...";

  fetch(astrosUrl)
    .then( response = response.json() )
    .then(getProfiles)
    .then(generateHTML)
    .catch( err => {
      peopleList.innerHTML = '<h3>Something went wrong!</h3>';
      console.log(err)
    })
    .finally( () => event.target.remove() )
});

Hi

Where you response = response.json(), this should be an arrow function response => response.json()
