Soooo, Donald Trump Shared Exactly Why He Doesn't Want To Debate Kamala Harris Again, And It's Quite The Statement
While we're all still reeling from Tuesday's historic and chaotic presidential debate between former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the two candidates have since shared their thoughts on a second match.
Previously, Trump agreed to debate his former race counterpart, President Joe Biden, twice ahead of the election. However, after debating Harris, the same cannot be said.
Following their first debate, Harris's team quickly issued a statement announcing she would be ready for a second.
"Under the bright lights, the American people got to see the choice they will face this fall at the ballot box: between moving forward with Kamala Harris, or going backwards with Trump,” Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris's campaign chair, said. “That’s what they saw tonight and what they should see at a second debate in October. Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?”
However, in a phone call with Fox News, Trump said, “When a fighter loses they say, ‘I want a rematch.'"
“I won the debate. I don’t know that I want to do another debate.”
Doubling down, he finished, "I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night."
Elsewhere, he repeated this sentiment in an interview with ABC News, saying, "Well she wants a second debate because she lost tonight, very badly."
According to CNN polling, debate viewers say Harris won the match 63% to 37%.
But of course, the most important poll will always be the actual Election Day results.
