Former President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he will not participate in a third debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump declared, 'THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE,' following Harris's request for a rematch. Trump claimed victory in their previous debate on Tuesday, referring to Harris as the 'Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate.' He added, 'When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, I WANT A REMATCH.' This decision comes amid various reactions, with some speculating it indicates Trump’s confidence in his electoral position. Notably, Harris has a 5-point lead over Trump following their first debate.
