Trump casts doubt on future debates with Harris

(The Center Square) – Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday cast doubt on whether he would attend future debates against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump faced off with Harris Tuesday night in his first debate against the new Democratic contender, who performed better than President Joe Biden did in his first debate against Trump, which prompted Biden to drop out and endorse Harris.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has supported Trump, said on X that Harris exceeded expectations.

"While I don’t think the debate hosts were fair to @realDonaldTrump, @KamalaHarris exceeded most people's expectations tonight," Musk wrote.

Trump said he won the TV debate contest and cast doubt on whether he would agree to any future debates ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election.

"Comrade Kamala Harris is going around wanting another Debate because she lost so badly – Just look at the Polls! It’s true with prizefighters, when they lose a fight, they immediately want another," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "In the World of Boxing or UFC, when a Fighter gets beaten or knocked out, they get up and scream, “I DEMAND A REMATCH, I DEMAND A REMATCH!” Well, it’s no different with a Debate. She was beaten badly last night. Every Poll has us WINNING, in one case, 92-8, so why would I do a Rematch?"
