President Trump Responds To Kamala’s Demand for a Second Debate

Shortly after the debate ended last night, Kamala was already calling for Round 2.

And, President Trump just gave an epic response.

He compared Kamala’s hasty request for an October debate to a fighter in boxing or UFC who loses, and immediately jumps up to demand a rematch.

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…

Trump shared similar thoughts when asked about debating Kamala again in person:

TRUMP RESPONDS TO KAMALA HARRIS WHO CALLS FOR A SECOND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

The Washington Examiner reported:

Former President Donald Trump questioned the logic behind doing a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris after he claimed “she was beaten badly” during their first encounter Tuesday.

The Harris campaign requested a second debate immediately after the pair’s debut encounter ended in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening. Trump cast doubts on acceding to the request the following day.

“She was beaten badly last night,” Trump claimed in a post to Truth Social. “Every Poll has us WINNING, in one case, 92-8, so why would I do a Rematch?”

The former president, who frequents boxing and mixed martial arts competitions, used a sports analogy to explain why Harris wanted a second opportunity to face off.

“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,” Trump declared.

Two major post-debate surveys indicated voters favored Harris as the winner. However, a series of polls conducted by media outlets and proudly celebrated by Trump showed the former president won the debate.

Harris campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillon requested Trump to accept a second debate in October on Tuesday evening. Speaking to reporters the same evening in the debate spin room, the former president said he would “think about that.” His words came as Trump allies, including Vivek Ramaswamy and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), have urged him to accept, saying it would be “good for the country.”

So, will there be a second debate?

Or is President Trump going with the strategy of quitting while he’s ahead?

USA Today gave some insight:

Trump’s campaign said that he had already accepted an invitation for a second debate on Sept. 25 with NBC News, according to Scripps News, but now the likelihood seems uncertain.

“They want another debate because they lost,” Trump said last night to reporters in the spin room. He then told Fox News on Wednesday. “I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate. We had a terrible, a terrible network.”

Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris-Walz campaign chair, called for a second Harris-Trump debate in October. “Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate,” Dillon said. “Is Donald Trump?”

What are your thoughts?

Would you like to see Trump and Harris debate again, or was last night’s heavily-moderated debate enough for you?

Do you agree with President Trump’s line of thinking here?
