In a surprising turn of events, Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted an invitation from CNN for a second debate against President Trump, slated for October 23.
This move comes despite her campaign's previous refusal of multiple other debate opportunities. The Harris campaign justified this decision by stating that the American people deserve another chance to see the candidates in action before casting their votes.
However, as reported by The Gateway Pundit, it seems that President Trump was not privy to these plans. During a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, the President made it clear that he has no intention of participating in another debate with Harris. He cited several reasons for his decision, including Harris's current standing in the election, the fact that he has already participated in two debates, the commencement of voting, and his belief that CNN would not provide a fair platform.
The President's concerns about the timing of the debate and the fairness of CNN are particularly noteworthy. By October 23, a significant portion of the country may have already cast their votes. Furthermore, CNN has previously faced criticism from other media outlets for being overly fair to Trump, leading the President to believe that they would not repeat this approach.
During the rally, Trump addressed the crowd, saying, "Kamala and her group have seen what is happening to their campaign, and its not going well for them. And it was announced just a little while ago that they would like to do another debate." He continued, "Although good entertainment valueIve already done two: one with Crooked Joe Biden at CNN and the other one with Kamala on ABC."
The President further elaborated on his experiences with the previous debates, stating, "CNN was very fairAnd they were criticized by the radical-left lunatics for being fair. In other words, they wont be fair again because they took a lot of abuse from the radical left." He added, "ABC was three-on-one but I was given credit for doing a very good jobThe problem with another debate is its just too late. Voting has already started."
Trump concluded by pointing out that Harris had previously declined a debate opportunity with FOX, but now seeks a debate with CNN as the election draws near, due to her dwindling campaign success.
Last week, The Gateway Pundit had already reported that Trump had no intention of engaging in another debate with Harris. With his recent statements, it seems increasingly likely that the September 10 showdown will remain the final face-off between the two candidates.
