Trump didn’t think he got a fair shake in the recent debate on ABC News. That’s why he’s come to this shocking decision.
As Donald Trump has made a stunning announcement about a potential third debate with Kamala Harris.
Former President Donald Trump took to social media on Thursday to announce that there would be “no third debate,” insinuating that Vice President Kamala Harris is pushing for a rematch because of her poor showing in this week’s presidential debate hosted by ABC News.
Trump framed Harris’ desire for another debate as a sign of defeat, stating, “When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH.’”
He further claimed, “Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate.”
The former president then launched into a critique of the Biden administration, accusing both Harris and President Joe Biden of damaging the country.
“She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class,” Trump wrote.
Trump also emphasized that Harris missed other key debate opportunities. “She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS,” he said, maintaining his position that further debates are unnecessary.
“KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Trump concluded emphatically.
Breitbart News previously highlighted that during Tuesday night’s debate, Harris made several false claims, with ABC moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir failing to correct or fact-check her. Trump, on the other hand, faced pushback from moderators, who challenged many of his statements, including an attempt to fact-check a joke he made.
Despite what some considered an unbalanced approach from the moderators, post-debate analyses have shown Trump gaining favor.
A Reuters focus group indicated that undecided voters leaned toward Trump 2-to-1 after the debate, while a New York Times survey revealed similar trends.
Harris struggled with several pivotal issues during the debate, including fracking, gun rights, and her stance on late-term abortion. Notably, she sidestepped a direct question on whether she supports abortion at nine months.
Political commentator and journalist Mike Cernovich noted Harris’ weak performance in key battleground states. “Kamala Harris didn’t mention Polish Americans and freak out over fracking for nothing. Pennsylvania is in play!” Cernovich remarked, pointing to internal polling that suggested trouble for Harris in Pennsylvania.
He later followed up with a post on X (formerly Twitter), declaring, “No need for Trump to do any more of these rigged debates.”
No need for Trump to do any more of these rigged debates.

Harris showed show weak she is. She’s losing Pennsylvania!
Let JD mop up Walz and stick to the issues. Fracking bans. Gun confiscation. The border. Crime.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk also weighed in, suggesting Harris’ push for a rematch indicated desperation. “You don’t get done with a debate and instantly request another unless you know you didn’t get what you needed,” Kirk wrote. He described the move as a sign of a “losing campaign” trying to project confidence despite poor internal polling.
You don’t get done with a debate and instantly request another unless you know you didn't get what you needed. They see their internals and know they didn’t get a kill shot. This is not how a winning campaign acts. It’s how a losing campaign acts if they want people to think…

With the fallout from the debate still settling, it appears Trump is satisfied with the results, confident that Harris’ calls for another face-off only further signal her shortcomings.
