DLNews Election 2024:

In what’s becoming a signature move, former U.S. President Donald Trump (78) has again opted out of a televised showdown with his challenger, Vice President Kamala Harris (59). This latest twist came courtesy of Trump’s platform, “Truth Social,” where he dramatically declared Thursday evening: “There will be NO third debate!”

In typical Trump fashion, the former president urged Harris to focus on "what she should have done over the past four years," shouting his message in all caps for emphasis.

Harris, however, was quick to respond. After Wednesday night's duel, her team wasted no time, signaling that she was all in for another debate. Trump, who remains convinced he emerged victorious, compared himself to a triumphant boxer, stating: “When a fighter loses, the first thing they do is beg for a rematch.”

The reality? Most observers—yes, even the usually Trump-friendly “Fox News”—gave Harris the upper hand in their latest clash.

Harris: "Let’s Give Voters What They Deserve!"

Meanwhile, Harris was on fire. Speaking to a roaring crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina, she confidently declared, “We owe voters another debate!” Her rallying cry was met with thunderous applause as she argued that this election was too important to skip out on the entire show.

While Trump’s abrupt refusal to continue dueling is still sinking in, Harris is basking in post-debate momentum. Since Tuesday’s face-off, her campaign has raked in $47 million in donations.

Oh, and let’s not forget: 67 million viewers tuned in for round one of the Harris-Trump battle—significantly more than Trump’s earlier match with Biden, which only pulled in 51 million. Some say that underwhelming performance cost him his second shot at the White House, paving the way for Harris to jump in the race.

And now, we all wait for round three—or will there be a knockout after all? Stay tuned!
