Upcoming presidential debate unclear as Trump remains undecided

"I hope Donald Trump will join me," wrote the Vice President. Her opponent, however, has found a reason to avoid this confrontation.

Kamala Harris wants to face her opponent, Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump, once again. Commentators considered the previous debate a victory for Harris, and even polls conducted by Trump-friendly Fox News confirmed this.
It's no surprise that Harris has an appetite for another fight. It could increase her supporters and ensure victory in the November battle for the presidential seat.
Will there be another pre-election showdown in the USA? Kamala Harris gladly accepted the invitation
Kamala Harris enthusiastically accepted the invitation. "I will gladly accept a second presidential debate on October 23. I hope Donald Trump will join me," - wrote the Democrat on platform X.
However, it is likely that this will not happen. Donald Trump addressed the issue during a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, but there was no firm refusal.
- She’s done one debate, I’ve done two. It’s too late to do another, I’d love to in many ways but it’s too late - said the former US president during a speech, reminding that he faced Joe Biden on June 28, and Kamala Harris on September 10, who replaced the sitting president seeking re-election.
On the platform Truth Social, Donald Trump wrote that "THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE". He added that he won during the September meeting with Kamala Harris.
"When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH. Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate" - he wrote.
However, later, in an interview with ABC News journalists in Philadelphia, he said that he "might" participate in the debate. This will happen if he "got in the right mood".
