With just 53 days away from Election Day, former President Donald Trump announced he would not participate in another debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. He first made the announcement in a post on Truth Social and then at a rally in Arizona in Thursday, Sept. 12.
Trump said he won the debate Tuesday, Sept. 10, and there will be no third debate after he’s already shared the stage with Harris and President Biden back in June.
“She immediately called for a second debate, which means that she was like a prizefighter that lost the fight,” Trump said. “So, because we’ve done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate.”
Meanwhile, at a campaign event in North Carolina, Harris said she still wants another debate with Trump before Election Day.
“I believe we ought to have another debate,” Harris said. “We owe it to the voters.”
At his event in Arizona, Trump also unveiled a new proposal to end taxes on overtime pay if he wins a second term. Harris’ campaign responded saying if Trump wins, fewer workers will receive overtime.
On Friday, Sept. 13, Harris will be campaigning in Pennsylvania and Trump will be holding a news conference in California before a rally in Las Vegas.
