Donald Trump rejects Fox News invite for second debate with Kamala Harris

Republican presidential candidate and former president Donald Trump, 78, has announced that he will not participate in another debate with Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris, 59. This decision came just hours after Fox News invited both candidates to a possible second round of presidential debates on either October 24 or October 27. The first presidential debate between the two candidates took place on September 10 on ABC News.

Trump stated there would not be another debate before the November 5 election. "THERE WILL BE NO REMATCH," Trump stated on his Truth Social platform. "SO THERE IS NOTHING TO DEBATE."

"IT IS VERY LATE IN THE PROCESS; VOTING HAS ALREADY BEGUN," Trump added.

In its invitation, Fox News stated that the second debate "would present an opportunity for each candidate to make their closing arguments."
