Former President Trump said Thursday that he won’t do a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
After his rocky performance in Tuesday’s debate, Trump posted on his social media site that he wouldn’t agree any further clashes.
“There will be no (additional) debate!” Trump wrote.
There was no immediate response from the Harris campaign, which challenged Trump to a second debate immediately after the first one on Tuesday night.
The Democratic candidate said she wants to debate again during her rally in North Carolina Thursday afternoon.
“I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important,” Harris told thousands of supporters at a rally in Charlotte.
Trump claimed that he won the first debate, a claim that is undercut by polls that said viewers considered Harris the winner by wide margins.
He compared Harris to a boxer who asks for a rematch after losing a bout.
“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I want a rematch,’” Trump wrote.
Trump advisers and Republican leaders were split over whether Trump should accept another debate after what they acknowledged was a shaky showing in the first clash.
