Republican Donald Trump said on Thursday (September 12, 2024) he would not participate in another against his Democratic rival Kamala Harris ahead of the Nov. 5 election, as several polls showed that she beat him.
“THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” the former president wrote on social media site Truth Social, after participating in a debate against President Joe Biden in June and Vice President Harris earlier this week.
Although Mr. Trump touted his performance on Tuesday against Ms. Harris, six Republican donors and three Mr. Trump advisers who spoke to Reuters earlier this week said they thought Ms. Harris had won the debate largely because Trump was unable to stay on message.
