Former President Trump said Thursday that he won’t do a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Following his rough showing in the debate on Tuesday, Trump declared on social media that he would not consent to any further altercations. “There’s not going to be (any) more debate!” Trump penned.
The Harris team, which had pushed Trump to a second debate on Tuesday night right after the first one, did not immediately respond. The Democratic contender did, however, state that she would like to debate once more.
I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important,” Harris told thousands of supporters at a rally in Charlotte, N.C., Thursday.
Trump claimed that he won the first debate, a claim that is undercut by polls that said viewers considered Harris the winner by wide margins.
He compared Harris to a boxer who asks for a rematch after losing a bout. “When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I want a rematch,’” Trump wrote.
Trump advisers and Republican leaders were split over whether Trump should accept another debate after what they acknowledged was a shaky showing in the first clash.
Some believe he needs a chance to bounce back, but others predict a second debate would be equally lopsided loss to Harris.
