Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that there would not be a third presidential debate.
“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.” 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. 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. Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe – It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS. KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Trump said on Truth Social.
Trump debated President Joe Biden in June, leading to Biden dropping out and Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this week in a debate against Harris and ABC moderators.

Viewers took to X on Tuesday to accuse ABC News debate moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir of bias against former President Donald Trump during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
As Trump and Harris faced off in their first and only scheduled debate, social media users claimed the moderators fact-checked and interrupted Trump far more frequently than Harris. “So now it’s Harris, Linsey and Muir v. Trump – just as we said it would be,” Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell posted on X.
The first fact-check occurred when Davis challenged Trump’s claim that some Democrats support executing babies after birth, a statement Trump made in reference to a 2019 video of former Virginia governor Ralph Northam. Davis refuted Trump’s claim, saying, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”

SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly labeled the moderation a “disgraceful failure,” calling the debate unprecedentedly “biased” and “unfair.”
Trump also claimed Haitian immigrants were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, which prompted Muir to fact-check the statement, citing the city manager’s denial of any credible reports.
Muir further fact-checked Trump’s statement about rising crime under Harris, referencing FBI data that suggested a decrease in crime, to which Trump responded by calling the statistics “fraudulent.”
Donald Trump Jr. voiced frustration, tweeting, “Weird how the hack moderators at @abcnews are only ‘Fact checking’ Trump and allowing Kamala to lie nonstop.”

Criticism continued as Harris made unchallenged claims, including her accusation that Trump called Charlottesville white supremacists “fine people” and her assertion that Trump would sign a national abortion ban, despite his repeated denials.
“ABC News moderators not pressing back on Kamala’s mistruths whatsoever. What a joke,” Fox News contributor Joe Concha posted on X.
