The recent debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered significant attention, with over 67.1 million viewers tuning in to ABC News. The debate, which took place on Tuesday, has sparked various reactions and discussions. Trump alluded to the 2020 debate between former Vice President Mike Pence and Harris, while also likening the recent debate to a boxing match in a Truth Social post, suggesting that only losers demand a rematch. There are speculations about whether Harris and Trump will engage in another debate, with some voices in the political sphere, including Chris Coons, expressing that Harris should debate Trump on Fox News. The debate has also led to criticisms of the moderators for not asking Trump the most obvious questions.
