Within moments of Tuesday night’s debate ending, Trump began to suggest that he wasn’t interested in another face-to-face with Harris.

Donald Trump, who tried to push Kamala Harris into debating him by publicly accepting multiple invitations while her campaign insisted on first negotiating the terms, is now casting doubt on whether he will agree to another face-to-face meeting with his Democratic opponent.

Within moments of leaving the debate stage on Tuesday night with a performance that some Republicans were quick to pan, Trump began dismissing the idea he would participate in another debate — a reversal from his previous talking point that he was willing to do several debates and it was Harris who was hiding.

Trump’s campaign said before the debate that he had already accepted debate invitations from Fox News and NBC News, and that Harris had not. But in post-debate interviews, Trump was noncommittal. He claimed victory on Truth Social, saying, “Why would I do a Rematch?”

    I’m enjoying the fact that, weeks ago, he tried to say she had scheduled some and her campaign’s response was “we’ll see how the first one goes”. Which now can be read as “Maybe baby won’t wanna play any more after we kick him in the nuts.”

        Yeah. How much worse would it be if they had a NBC one setup in 3 weeks only for him to cancel it.

        I’m sure it would be something stupid like arguing over the rules too.

        No fact checking!!
