Trump refuses to debate with Harris, claims it's 'pointless'
Donald Trump, the former President of the United States and a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections, announced on Wednesday that he does not plan to debate Kamala Harris again. He justified his decision by stating that "there is nothing to debate."

"There will be no rematch!" Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform about the CNN and Fox News proposal to organise a second debate with Harris. "Kamala stated clearly, yesterday, that she would not do anything different than Joe Biden, so there is nothing to debate," the former US President added.
Trump also noted that he sees additional reasons why the debate doesn't make sense. He pointed out that he had already debated with Harris on 10 September, and, in his view, he won that encounter. He added, "it is very late in the process, voting has already begun."
Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, was previously asked in an interview with ABC what decision she would make differently from Joe Biden. In response, she stated that "nothing comes to mind." The Associated Press agency recalls this interview, emphasising that demonstrating how a potential Harris presidency would differ from Biden's governance is becoming increasingly urgent for the candidate.
