Republican Donald Trump ruled out appearing at another debate with Democrat Kamala Harris two days after he delivered an uneven performance at their first showdown of the election cycle.

“THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!,” Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday, insisting that he won the lone showdown with Harris and didn’t need to debate again.
“Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris,” said Trump, despite several snap polls that showed Harris emerging as the victor in the ABC-hosted debate, which was watched by some 67 million viewers.
Democrats had challenged Trump to a repeat debate in the aftermath.
“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH,'” he said.
Trump was on the campaign trail at a rally in Tucson in Arizona, one of the several knife-edge states that both candidates hope to win.
At a rally there, Trump said he would end taxes on overtime pay as part of a broader package of tax cuts if elected on November 5.
An earlier policy of imposing no tax on tips taken in the hospitality sector has proved popular — with Harris later making a similar pledge.
Meanwhile, at a rally in North Carolina — another swing state — the Democratic presidential candidate insisted the pair should debate again before the November 5 election.
“Two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first debate and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another,” Harris told cheering supporters in the city of Charlotte.
“Because this election and what is at stake could not be more important,” added the Democrat, who was headed to a second rally in Greensboro, North Carolina later on Thursday.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday that surveyed voters who said they had heard at least something about Tuesday’s debate showed that 53% believed Harris won while only 24% said Trump was the victor.
The debate saw several talking points. While Harris dodged questions on policy issues, she was successful in baiting Trump into angry remarks on several issues, not least when she criticized his campaign rallies themselves.
The former president was also called out by moderators after he amplified false rumors that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were abducting and eating pets.
The book also examines Nigeria's legal ecosystem, focusing on the LPELR and NBA AI Guidelines. As a bonus, every purchase comes with a FREE eBook titled: How to Use the AI Features in LegalPedia and LawPavilion.
Ohio Books Ltd praises the publication, stating:
"....this is the only Nigerian book I know of on the topic."
