Former President Trump Declines Third Debate With Vice President Harris

Former U.S. President Donald Trump departs Trump Tower in New York

Former President Donald Trump has made a significant announcement on social media, stating that there will not be a third presidential debate and that he will not debate Vice President Kamala Harris. In his post, the former president likened the situation to a prize fighter losing a fight and seeking a rematch. He claimed that polls indicated he won the debate against Harris on Tuesday night and criticized the current administration, of which Harris is a part.

It is important to note that initially, the former president had agreed to three debates with President Biden, with one already taking place and another scheduled for late September. The Harris camp had discussed the possibility of rescheduling the third debate for October, but it remains uncertain whether the vice president had ruled out participating in the debate on NBC in late September or on CBS.
