Donald Trump Responds To CNN’s Invitation For A Second Debate Against Kamala Harris

Buy Me A Coffee

Donald Trump has officially taken a hard pass on a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, proving that even in politics, sometimes it’s better to quit while you’re…well, let’s just say “ahead.”

On Thursday (October 10), a deadline quietly ticked by, with the 78-year-old former president pulling the ultimate power move: ignoring CNNโ€™s RSVP to debate the 59-year-old VP. Instead of a fiery rematch, Kamala will be hitting the stage solo at a town hall on October 23, probably thinking, โ€œGreat, now I donโ€™t have to listen to two hours of โ€˜China Virusโ€™ monologues.โ€

According to Deadline (the news site, not Trump’s personal schedule), The Donald made it clear on Wednesday: โ€œThere will be no rematch.โ€ Itโ€™s like a boxing champion walking away from the ring, but instead of physical punches, itโ€™s zingers about healthcare, taxes, and whoโ€™s better at not interrupting. Trump hinted that it was โ€œtoo late in the processโ€ to hop back into the debate spotlight, but we all know the truthโ€”he just didnโ€™t want to hear Kamalaโ€™s side-eye again.

Kamalaโ€™s campaign chair, Jen Oโ€™Malley Dillon, didnโ€™t hold back, claiming that Donaldโ€™s real reason for bailing was simple: โ€œHe fears another debate where Vice President Harris would hold him accountable in front of tens of millions of Americans.โ€ Translation: Trumpโ€™s debate strategy is apparently now โ€œrun away and tweet about it later.โ€

For those keeping score at home, their first (and now only) debate happened in September and drew in almost 60 million viewers. Thatโ€™s right, 60 million people tuned in for a front-row seat to what was basically a glorified roast battle, complete with interruptions, side comments, and the occasional fact check.

So, if you were looking forward to another epic face-off, youโ€™re out of luck. But donโ€™t worry, thereโ€™s always Twitter. Or, you know, Truth Social.
