In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump has announced that he will not be participating in a second debate against Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Trump made this announcement on his controversial Truth Social platform, where he claimed that recent polls have shown that he “clearly won” the first debate against Harris in Philadelphia.
The decision not to participate in the debate comes as polls continue to show Trump and Harris in an extremely tight race just two months before the November elections. Despite the close competition, Trump is confident in his performance and has chosen to focus on other aspects of his campaign. He also took the opportunity to criticize Harris, suggesting that she should focus on her time as vice-president rather than engaging in further debates.
This development sets the stage for a potentially contentious and unpredictable race as both candidates work to appeal to voters in the lead-up to the election. With tensions running high and the stakes higher than ever, the American public will be closely watching as Trump and Harris continue to make their cases for the presidency.
