Former President Donald Trump says he will not agree to a third debate this election cycle, after the Harris campaign signaled Tuesday that they were interested in a rematch. Trump had reportedly been open to a second showdown against Harris leading up to the Sep. 10 debate, but on Thursday, he officially shot down the offer.
“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH.'” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate.”
Trump continued to attack Harris and “Crooked Joe,” saying they had “destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class.”
“Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe – It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS.
KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” ~ Fmr. President Donald Trump via Truth Social
Harris had initially been invited to a Sep. 4 debate on Fox News but refused to show, leading Trump to attend the event as a town hall instead. Harris instead insisted on ABC News as the host, making for a widely criticized debate for its lopsided fact-checking and blatant bias.

After Trump declared victory and refused a rematch, Harris took to social media to push back.
“Two nights ago, Donald Trump and I had our first debate,” Harris said on X. “We owe it to the voters to have another debate.”
Later, Trump fired back in an interview with the New York Post.
“We’ve done two,” Trump insisted to The Post. “You know, one against Biden, one against Comrade Kamala. I did well. I did really well.”
“So we just don’t think that there’s any need for it,” he added. “The debate polls, every single poll, had us winning it.”
Trump’s team originally pushed for a Sep. 25 rematch debate on NBC News but has since withdrawn the offer.

Comrade Kamala is currently speaking in North Carolina, where she’s reading the EXACT same speech she delivered several hours ago from her teleprompter.
She’s simply not competent enough to regurgitate anything other than rehearsed, canned lines.
Humiliating!

Instead, the next and final debate of the 2024 cycle will take place between Vice Presidential nominees J.D. Vance and Tim Walz. The showdown is scheduled for Oct. 1 and will be hosted by CBS News.
“Kamala’s campaign is seeing the same thing we’re seeing,” Vance said Thursday on X in response to a Bloomberg News report that the Harris campaign would get “more aggressive.”
“Despite the fake pundit narrative, their numbers just aren’t good. So they’re changing strategies,” he continued. “We’re running through the tape, fighting for every vote and winning!”
