Republican candidate Donald Trump announced on his social network Truth Social on Thursday, September 12, that he would not participate in a new debate against Kamala Harris before the American presidential election on November 5. A decision immediately criticized by his Democratic rival.
« THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE ! ” thundered Donald Trump on Truth Social, in reference to his debate against Kamala Harriswhich he claims to have won – even though all opinion polls say otherwise – and the one in June against Joe Biden, when the outgoing president was still the expected Democratic candidate.
Kamala Harris, who attended a campaign rally shortly after Donald Trump’s announcement, criticized her opponent’s decision: ” I think we owe it to the voters to have another debate. »
The US vice president gave the former Republican president a tough time during the debate held on ABC News on Tuesday, September 10, which allowed her to slightly increase her lead in voting intentions, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
After their debate, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris picked up the pace and marched briskly through the decisive states, in search of the precious votes that could decide between them in fifty days.
