Trump repeats debunked story on migrants ‘eating dogs’
Donald Trump has refused to accept a second presidential debate proposed by vice president Kamala Harris, denouncing her request as a sign that Ms Harris “lost” Tuesday night’s encounter.
Less than an hour after the ABC News presidential debate ended, vice president Harris’ campaign called for another head-to-head.
“‘Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?’” Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement after the debate.
Early polls suggest the former president lost the debate after he became visibly agitated by Ms Harris’s attack lines.
Trump has previously called for three debates with Ms Harris, but it was not immediately clear whether he would agree to a second meeting after Tuesday’s clash in Philadelphia.
“We’ll look at it, but they want a second debate because they lost,” Trump told reporters in a surprise visit to the “spin room” after the debate.
Trump later appeared less willing to participate, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity, “I sort of think maybe I shouldn’t do it.”
“I have to think about it, but if you won the debate, I sort of think maybe I shouldn’t do it. Why should I do another debate? She immediately said, ‘We want another.’ That’s, you know, what happens when you lose you immediately want to do a rematch.”
Following the battle on Tuesday night, Fox News Media executives have formally offered to host a second debate between the election rivals in October, with Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum as moderators.
Fox News Media president and Executive Editor, Jay Wallace, and Vice President of Politics, Jessica Loker, said that the news channel was “re-upping its proposal.”
“As the Harris Campaign has stated, the American people will have another opportunity to see both on stage in October,” they wrote in a letter to the Harris and Trump campaigns.
They proposed to hold a second debate in October, amid early in-person voting in multiple battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.
A second presidential debate has not been announced. The vice presidential candidates are scheduled to debate on October 1.
