Donald Trump on Thursday rejected the possibility of another debate with his opponent Kamala Harris ahead of November’s presidential election.
Trump made the comment as he and Harris returned to their campaigns in the battleground states where the tight race for the Oval Office will likely be decided in November.
The Republican former president posted defiantly that he was victorious in Tuesday’s televised face-off with Kamala Harris.
“THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” the 78-year-old wrote on his Truth Social platform, including in his tally the earlier debate with Joe Biden in June that proved so disastrous to the sitting president’s chances of seeking re-election.
“Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris,” said Trump, despite several snap polls that showed Harris emerging as the victor in the ABC-hosted debate, which was watched by some 67 million viewers.
Democrats had challenged Trump to a repeat debate in the aftermath.
“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH,'” he said.
