BREAKING: Trump Announces That He Will Not Participate In Another Debate With Kamala Harris

On Thursday, 45th President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to explain to the American people that he would not participate in another presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris after the vice president challenged the Republican candidate following their showdown in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening.

"When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, 'I WANT A REMATCH.' 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 wrote on Truth Social.

"She and Crooked Joe have 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," he explained. "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!"

While President Trump claims he won the first debate against Harris, voters have a more mixed view. According to The Washington Post's panel of swing state voters, 23 out of 25 believed Harris performed better, and only two 25 believed Trump was the better-performing debater. The amount of support each candidate received from the panel also changed from before and after the debate, with 12 voters leaning "probably Harris," three voters preferring neither candidate, and 10 voters leaning "probably Trump" before the debate. In contrast, the post-debate survey found five voters were "definitely Harris," 10 were "probably Harris," three preferred neither, and six said they'd probably vote for Trump. None of those surveyed would "definitely" pull the lever for Trump in November after the debate.

However, a report from Reuters found that the undecided voters they interviewed were not impressed by Harris. The outlet found that six out of ten voters interviewed after the debate would back Trump in the November election, while three supported Harris and one remained undecided.
