Former President Donald Trump rejected calls for a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday evening, saying votes have already been cast and he "beat her" the first time.
"Lyin' Kamala just put out a request for another Debate because they lost so badly tonight - Again, it's like the fighter who lost, gets up and says, 'I WANT A REMATCH.' I beat Biden, I then beat her, and I'm not looking to do it again, too far down the line. Votes are already cast - And I'm leading BIG in the Polls. I'll MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, she's incapable of it!" Trump posted on his Truth Social just following the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
In September, Harris officially accepted a debate to take place on Oct. 23 to be hosted by CNN.
"Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate. It is the same format and setup as the CNN debate he attended and said he won in June, when he praised CNN's moderators, rules, and ratings," Jennifer O’Malley Dillon, political strategist serving as the campaign manager for Vice President Kamala, said in a statement.
The Trump camp has repeatedly dismissed calls for another debate, reminding voters that Trump debated President Joe Biden in June.
