Former President Donald Trump announced on Thursday 9/12/24, that he won’t be debating Vice President Kamala Harris again. He said in an interview that he thinks they have already covered every important stuff and there’s no need for more debates. Trump mentioned his earlier debate with President Joe Biden and suggested that Harris should focus on running the country instead of preparing for another debate.
Kamala Harris disagrees with the statement and at a rally in North Carolina, she said that another debate is important. She stated that, “Donald Trump and I had our first debate two nights ago, and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate because this election is so important.”
Trump first made his decision public and mentioned “there will be no third debate!” He also criticized Harris’s performance in the recent debate. Trump’s spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, backed him up, saying, “You heard the man.”
Trump’s decision to skip future debates comes right after his recent debate with Kamala Harris in Philadelphia. They discussed topics on inflation, abortion, and immigration. During the debate, Trump made several statements that were fact-checked live, and his controversial remarks have raised concerns among some of his supporters.
Trump’s choice to avoid more debates could affect how the election campaign unfolds. While Trump believes additional debates are unnecessary, he feels he has done enough debating with Harris and that further discussions won’t change the outcome. Harris, however, thinks that more debates are crucial for helping voters decide.
Some people supporting Trump believe that Harris is pushing for another debate because she’s expected to lose and needs more chances to boost her position. In contrast, Harris argues that more debates are important for helping voters make their decisions. How this will influence the election and whether more debates will make a difference remains uncertain.
