Republican candidate for president of the United States of America (USA) Donald Trump announced that he will not participate in another presidential debate with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
"When a fighter loses a fight, the first words that come out of his mouth are 'I want a rematch'. The polls clearly show that, on Tuesday night, I won the debate against my friend Kamala Harris - the candidate of the radical left of the Democrats. She immediately called for another debate ", the former president wrote on the "Istina" social network, blaming the current administration for the bad state of the country.
"There will be no third debate," Trump clearly indicated.
On Tuesday, he participated in a debate with the current US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Several polls showed that Harris outperformed Trump in the debate.
This attitude is shared by Joe Young, a professor at the University of Kentucky.
He told Voice of America in a recent interview that he had two basic impressions after the debate of the presidential candidates.
"It's clear that the first debate was a complete disaster for the Democrats and Kamala Harris from the very beginning was able to get the support and do the job that was expected of her, I think that was absolutely clear. Second, she was able to get under Trump's skin and put him on the defensive where he was saying some pretty incredible and incomprehensible things ... and that hurt him," said Young, who is also director of the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Trade.
ABC moderators David Muir and Lynsey Davis were heavily criticized by the former president and his supporters. Reporters did some fact-checking on the fly during the debate, correcting four of Trump's statements.
While CNN chose not to correct any of the candidate's misstatements during Trump's debate with incumbent US President Joseph Biden in June, ABC instead challenged Trump's statements on abortion, immigration, the 2020 election and violent crimes.
An estimated 67,1 million people watched the Trump-Harris debate on Tuesday, an increase over the June debate.
Then, the likely Democratic candidate Biden, who after an unconvincing performance, withdrew from the presidential race, took on the former president.
CBS will host a debate between vice presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance on October 1st.
