Kamala Harris is desperately clinging to any opportunity to regain her political footing after a string of underwhelming performances.
CNN’s offer to host a second presidential debate on October 23 in Atlanta seemed like a lifeline for Harris, who quickly accepted the invitation, confident that the far-left network will shield her from tough scrutiny.
“CNN sent invitations on September 21 to both Vice President Harris and former President Trump’s campaigns to participate in a CNN debate this fall as we believe the American people would benefit from a second debate between the two candidates for President of the United States,” the far-left network said in a statement.
“With less than 30 days to Election Day, we are placing a deadline for a formal response from both campaigns for this Thursday, October 10 at 12 p.m. ET to participate,” the network added.
However, former President Donald Trump isn’t falling into CNN’s trap. He’s well aware of the network’s slanted coverage and refuses to participate in a rigged mainstream circus.
Trump’s rejection of the debate isn’t just a strategic move; it’s a stance against the very media machine that has propped up Harris and her failing campaign.
Harris, now left to fend for herself, tried to paint Trump as afraid of another face-off.
“Trump should have no problem agreeing since it is the same format and setup as the CNN debate he attended and said he won in June, when he praised CNN’s moderators, rules, and ratings,” according to Harris’ campaign.
His decision to decline isn’t just about the timing—it’s about refusing to engage with a network that has lost all credibility. CNN may have once been the gold standard of debate hosts, but under its current leadership, it’s little more than a PR firm for the Democrat Party.
Trump’s dominance in polls is growing by the day, particularly in key swing states. He simply doesn’t need to play CNN’s game.
In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump made it clear why he’s skipping the debate:
“I won the last two debates, one with Crooked Joe, the other with Lyin’ Kamala.
I accepted the Fox News invitation to debate Kamala on September 4th, but she turned it down.
JD Vance easily won his debate with ‘Tampon’ Tim Walz, who even called himself a knucklehead! I am also leading in the polls, with the lead getting bigger by the day—and leading in all swing states.
The first thing a prizefighter does when he loses a fight is say that he ‘demands a rematch.’
It is very late in the process; voting has already begun—there will be no rematch!
Besides, Kamala stated clearly yesterday that she would not do anything different than Joe Biden, so there is nothing to debate.”
Submit additional information.
“Kamala stated clearly yesterday that she would not do anything different than Joe Biden, so there is nothing to debate”
They need to hit the little giggler over the head with that statement every day.
yup, it’s a trap... he knows it and has nothing to prove
In this election absolutely NO! After what has taken place with those two past debates…NO! If the RNC wants to ever be taken seriously they will make quick radical changes for future debates that benefit our side too either it be presidential or other debates.
not hannity, he’s shown himself to be controlled opposition
Why waste his valuable time debating a doofus.
If Hairass wants to debate perhaps Daffy Duck can accommodate her.
Have the debate on a red state/city. Why always go to dimwit strongholds?
Sorry Hannity is not a conservative. He is a book seller and showman. Hence the moniker Sean Vanity.
Yup. I was watching that thinking the network is trying to show her leadership skills (among other skills) in a presidential manner. I turned that bit*h off...
As an aside, I love what Steven Crowder is doing. He's enlisting boots on the ground on election night to report at polling and counting places. Will cheating happen, absolutely, as it always does.
Democrats always follow the same predictable formula....Propaganda,Propaganda,Propaganda,Propaganda...and if that's not working...CHEAT. We need brave soldiers to be anywhere this can happen..Wayne county MI, Allegheny county, PA, and any other of the numerous locations where melanin enriched people vote in numbers.
There haven’t been any debates this time.
Just MSM democrat apparatchiks trying to set up the GOP candidate and score campaign points for the democrat nominee
NOPE. The only debate should be a debate with NO moderators.
Nice thought, that’ll never happen though.
Thwarting the Philly cheat would make Penn a historical blowout for Trump.
FOX News Media proposes Trump-Harris presidential debate in Pennsylvania
Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate the proposed October showdown

I am not and never have been for early voting.
I believe once the voting has started the debates should be officially over because people cannot change their vote after they have voted.
Only one person wants another debate and she cheated in the first one.
Let’s leave it at that.
No, the hoped for benefit is for it to help Kamala Harris.
And there's more than two candidates for President. I'm voting for Trump, but if someone is on the ballot in enough states that they could win then they should be included in debates. Let's hear what they have to say.
Great observation. Stick a fork in her, she's done.
She can debate herself. New Kamala vs Old Kamala. Both will lose. Trump don’t need to be there. Should be fun to watch both Kamalas lose.
There were two debates. It's not Trump's fault they couldn't decide on a viable candidate.
Why do republicans always cave to being on liberal networks?
Fox and Newsmax aren’t perfect, but there’s a higher degree of getting a fair shot.
Philly may be a complete lost cause. It’s like Austin, Texas or Madison, Wisconsin. It’s not just the block robots in Philly who will show up but the white suburban zombie women and their cuck beta male partners who love this imbecile. She is just the kind of vapid, morally bereft person they love. Anyone who would listen to that slut on “Call her Daddy” podcast. We all know the types, the opinionated idiot at your party who mocks Trump and has their own life in a shambles. The women with one kid on drugs, the other “transitioning,” and a third doing “well” but on 5 anti depressants.
