Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted an invitation to debate on CNN on October 23, but former President Donald Trump is still shying away from it despite urging from his Republican colleagues to take part.
The Harris-Waltz campaign released a list of seven Republicans on Wednesday who are calling on Trump to debate again, including former Trump advisers Kellyanne Conway and Steve Cortez, Senators Lindsey Graham, Rick Scott and Thom Tillis, Trump donor Dan Eberhart and former Rep. Carlos Curbelo.
But Trump has made it clear he has no intention of taking on Harris again.
Two days after the Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC News, Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social: “When a professional boxer loses a fight, the first thing he says is, ‘I want a rematch.’ The polls clearly show that I won the debate against fellow far-left Democratic candidate Kamala Harris… and she immediately asked for a second debate. There will be no third!”
At a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Saturday, Trump said he had declined an invitation to appear on CNN’s debate because October 23 was “too late” and “the voting has already begun.” (Election Day is November 5.)
The reason Trump is hesitant is because Harris A clear winner In a CNN/SSRS Snap Poll, she It went up After the debate, according to edit 538: Public Opinion PollShe is currently leading Trump by 2.6 percentage points in national polls.
Does Trump know he has too much to lose and risk the humiliation of another defeat?
Despite Trump’s reluctance, American voters also want a debate, according to a Civiqs/Quinnipiac poll. 58% of voters and 64% of voters each, I’d love to see another Harris vs. Trump showdown.
Instead, Trump chose to avoid sharing the stage with Harris. Late-night Univision Town Hall showdown October 8th and October 10th.
Is he really a “coward”? Democratic National Committee Say? This time it’s not Trump. To speak ill of someone.
