Trump Suggests Hes Unlikely To Do Another Debate For This Reason

Fox News has reportedly offered both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump three dates in October to debate again.

Former President Donald Trump said he is uncertain that he will do another debate against Vice President Kamala Harris , reasoning that he thinks he won Tuesday nights event in a landslide and only losers want a rematch.

When a fighter loses they say, I want a rematch, he said in a phone interview with Fox News early Wednesday. I won the debate. I dont know that I want to do another debate.

He repeated his stance when asked again, saying, Id be less inclined to because we had a great night.

I think it was one of my best debates, maybe my best debate, he added, while claiming that polls showed that he won it by 80-20.

Trump posted screen grabs on his Truth Social account of several informal social media polls conducted on X, formerly called Twitter, that showed him as the victor.

A formal poll of debate watchers conducted by the independent research company SSRS, however, showed that viewers thought Harris beat Trump 63% to 37%.

Fox News reported that the network has offered both Harris and Trump three dates in October to debate again.
