Former US President Donald Trump has announced that there will be no third debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, despite her campaign’s challenge for another showdown. The initial debate, which took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, saw Harris outshine Trump, with pundits and polls indicating that she had the upper hand. Trump’s decision to reject a follow-up debate comes after he accused Harris of losing the first one, even though political commentators and polls suggest otherwise.
The debate between Harris and Trump was highly anticipated, as it was the first time the two had met in person. Despite both candidates dodging direct questions on policy issues, Harris managed to provoke Trump and generate several memorable moments during the debate. Polls show that a majority of voters believe Harris won, with 53% favoring her over Trump. However, it remains to be seen how influential the debate will be in the upcoming election, as polls continue to show a tight race.
A majority of registered voters surveyed expressed satisfaction with having only one debate between Harris and Trump, with 54% feeling that one debate was enough. While 46% expressed a desire for a second debate, Trump’s decision to reject the possibility means that the first debate may be the only opportunity for voters to compare the two candidates side by side. With the election just around the corner, the impact of the debate on undecided voters in key battleground states remains uncertain.
