Trump Rejects Fox News Debate Invitation: ‘THERE WILL BE NO REMATCH!’

Former President Donald Trump rejected an invitation from Fox News to debate Vice President Kamala Harris.
The network proposed a debate in Pennsylvania to be held on either Thursday, Oct. 24, or Sunday, Oct. 27. Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would have been the moderators.
Trump called into Fox & Friends last month and was asked about doing a second debate with Harris. The former president seemed cool to the idea, but said if it were to happen, one of the Fox primetime hosts who frequently praise him should moderate.
On Wednesday, the network extended an invitation to a debate, with Baier and MacCallum as the moderators.
Hours later, writing in all-caps on Truth Social, he declared himself the winner of the last debate against Harris – as well as his debate against President Joe Biden in June. He also said he will not debate Harris again:
I WON THE LAST TWO DEBATES, ONE WITH CROOKED JOE, THE OTHER WITH LYIN’ KAMALA. 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. THE FIRST THING A PRIZEFIGHTER DOES WHEN HE LOSES A FIGHT IS SAY THAT HE “DEMANDS A REMATCH.” 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
While Biden self-destructed in his debate with Trump, Harris had a strong showing against the former president. Meanwhile, Trump repeated falsehoods about immigrants in Ohio eating people’s pets.
