Donald Trump and Kamala Harris participated in a presidential debate on Tuesday night. Following the event, CBS News invited both candidates to another debate at Arizona State University in October. However, Trump announced on Thursday that he would not participate in another debate with Harris before the November 5 election, dismissing her call for a rematch as a sign of defeat. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stated that Harris should not debate Trump again. Republicans were in damage control mode after Trump's performance, with some attributing his unpreparedness to his coaching team. Harris maintained a slight lead over Trump among registered voters, according to a major poll released after the debate. Tulsi Gabbard criticized the debate as being three vs one, calling it propaganda media in favor of Harris. Harris declared in North Carolina that another debate is owed to voters.
