'No rematch!' Trump brags about refusal to debate Harris in late-night rant

Former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account on Wednesday evening to once again justify his refusal to participate in any further debates with Vice President Kamala Harris in a new all-caps rant.

This comes after Fox News invited Trump and Harris to participate in another debate near the end of October.

"I WON THE LAST TWO DEBATES, ONE WITH CROOKED JOE, THE OTHER WITH LYIN’ KAMALA," said Trump. "I ACCEPTED THE FOX-NEWS INVITATION TO DEBATE KAMALA ON SEPTEMBER 4TH, BUT SHE TURNED IT DOWN. JD VANCE EASILY WON HIS DEBATE WITH TAMPON TIM WALZ, WHO CALLED HIMSELF A KNUCKLEHEAD! I AM ALSO LEADING IN THE POLLS, WITH THE LEAD GETTING BIGGER BY THE DAY - AND LEADING IN ALL SWING STATES."

Trump then repeated a talking point he has deployed multiple times already: that only a losing candidate asks for multiple debates.

"THE FIRST THING A PRIZEFIGHTER DOES WHEN HE LOSES A FIGHT IS SAY THAT HE 'DEMANDS A REMATCH,'" said Trump. "IT IS VERY LATE IN THE PROCESS, VOTING HAS ALREADY BEGUN - THERE WILL BE NO REMATCH! BESIDES, KAMALA STATED CLEARLY, YESTERDAY, THAT SHE WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN JOE BIDEN, SO THERE IS NOTHING TO DEBATE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! DONALD J. TRUMP."

Contrary to Trump's assertions , polling taken after the presidential debate indicated a majority of viewers saw Harris as the victor , as Trump appeared agitated by the vice president's criticism and had to be reined in by moderators after he promoted a false claim about migrants in Ohio eating people's pets .
