Former President Donald Trump said that his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris will be the last of this election cycle.
On Thursday, Trump posted on Truth Social and said there will be no third debate after he debated President Joe Biden in June (before Biden dropped out) and Harris on Tuesday:
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. 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. 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!
During Tuesday’s debate, Harris baited Trump repeatedly to great effect. The former president reiterated his falsehoods about the 2020 election being rigged and promoted a baseless rumor about migrants in Ohio abducting and eating pets.
When was the second one?
Sorry....I saw the earlier post on this too late.
Mediate's claims about Trump are baseless.
He must mean the third presidential debate, not the third vs. Harris.
1st one was with Biden
I know.....my mistake.
Well I’m glad he finally learned to stay out the MSM. He has no need for these debates he does televised rallies every other day. If people don’t know what Trump stands for by now they never will.
I wonder what his reasoning is?
Kind of disappointed but I get it. Waste of time. Though he would have crushed her...and I don’t love the ammo it gives our enemies. Of course they’ll say he skerred.
Hey, medialite...here’s a “fact check”. The hungry haitians DID eat ducks in a pond and people’s pet. Will you be apologizing now or later? Losers. Oh, by the way, you integrity-free lizards, the 2020 election was corrupt...very corrupt.
This is a wise choice if
A. Team Trump would yet again acquiesce to whatever “debate” setup the Dems demand
OR
B. Trump cannot learn to not be baited by Harris.
OR
C. Trump is unable to hit Harris on her extreme vulnerabilities.
I think he should have another debate with Kamala...so much left on the table to bring up. It would be another opportunity to drive home inflation, illegal immigration, crime in cities like her San Francisco, migrant kids disappearing, etc.
She will evade answering any questions substantively, just as she always does.
Over half the country has never tuned in to a rally. Debates offer a chance to talk to the 5-10% swing voters in PA, WI, AZ, NC, and MI.
Got it. Thanks. 👍
That’s good! The 3rd would’ve been the Obama’s moderating
“I think he should have another debate with Kamala...so much left on the table to bring up”.

While admittedly the ABC moderators were shamelessly biased, at this point there is no upside to Trump debating her again. He has clearly demonstrated that he is incapable of falling into her traps, and she will continue to bait him over and over, causing him to waste valuable minutes chasing trivial points.
His task was rather simple - pointing out over and over that she has been the co-captain of the Titanic and would continue down that course. He could have said something like - “The American people can listen to her platitudes all day long, but along the way be sure to look at your checkbook!” When you get sticker shock at the gas pump and the grocery store, remember she did that to you!” That would win over the small sliver of persuadable voters that are still out there.
I’m sure he has advisors pointing all this out, but he is obviously uncoachable. I am hopeful he may still squeak out a victory, but he is making it much harder than it should be.
I think most people are missing the play. The numbers are all saying 25-30 still don’t know enough about Comrades positions. Trump goaded HER in the debate to make it all about him. Near the end of the debate she starts to realize it but it was too late. Trump ended the debate saying why hasnt she done what she wanted in 3.5 years (purposely didn’t drive this home during the debate so she couldn’t give an answer). This is why they wanted another debate. They aren’t getting this audience again. Now she is going to put herself out there much more AND she will be forced, based on these numbers, to focus on policy. Even if she has the perfect policy she isn’t reaching 60m potential voters from now until election. She is relatively unknown and she blew her chance to make people know her because she was focused on Trump. SHE got played. I truly believe Trump was one step ahead this time. See my comments.
