This morning, former US President Donald Trump made an unexpected announcement that he would not be participating in another presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump took to social media platform Truth Social to share his decision, making it clear that there would be no third debate. He referred to his previous debates with President Joe Biden in June and Harris just this past Wednesday.
Harris' campaign had been pushing for another debate after the vice president and Trump's first face-off on ABC in Philadelphia. She even reiterated this call during a rally in Charlotte on Thursday, emphasizing the importance of giving voters another chance to hear from the candidates. However, Trump seemed to put an end to any speculation, stating that Harris should focus on what she "should have done" during her almost four years in office.
The Harris campaign, however, is not taking Trump's announcement at face value. According to a senior Harris adviser, Trump is known for changing his position daily and they predict that there will be another debate. Despite Trump's claims of winning the previous debates and criticizing the moderators, the fact checks show that Harris came out on top in the polls.
In response to the debates, Trump took to Fox News to defend his performance and claim that he didn't know if he wanted to participate in another debate. He compared debates to a boxing match, where the loser demands a rematch, and reiterated his belief that he had won. However, the polls tell a different story, with CNN Fact Check reporting that every major scientific poll has found Harris to be the winner.
Even those who support Trump, such as former independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr, noted that while Trump may have won on substance, Harris had the upper hand in terms of delivery, polish, organization, and preparation. The running mates of Trump and Harris, Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are set to have their own debate on October 1st.
