As Gateway Pundit previously reported, Kamala Harris has accepted CNN’s invitation to appear in a second debate with President Trump on October 23. Her campaign has boldly argued that the American public should be given another chance to watch the candidates face off before voting, after repeatedly being denied the opportunity for other debates.
But it seems someone forgot to let Trump know about her plans, as Trump has no plans to run against Harris again.
At a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina today, Trump made it clear he would be turning down CNN’s invitation to face off against Harris, citing several reasons, including that Harris had lost the election, they had already had two debates, voting had begun, and that CNN was not impartial.
The last two are especially important because by October 23rd, more than half of the nation will likely have already voted, and CNN has been kicked out by other media for being too fair to Trump, so there’s no merit to a second showdown.

UPDATE: President Trump has declined to debate Harris again, saying, “They want to have another debate. The problem with the next debate is it’s too late. The voting has already started.”

TrumpKamala and her group have been watching what’s going on with their campaign, it doesn’t seem to be going well, and then a while ago it was announced that they want to have another debate.

It’s very entertaining… I’ve already been on it twice, once with Crooked Joe Biden on CNN and once with Kamala on ABC.
CNN was very fair… and then they got criticized by radical left wing lunatics for being fair. In other words, they will not be fair again because they got so much flak from the radical left.
ABC was 3 to 1, but I was judged to have done a very good job… The problem with another debate is that it’s too late: the voting has already started.
She had the opportunity to debate on FOX but turned it down, but now she wants to debate on CNN right before the election because she’s losing badly.
Gateway Pundit reported last week that Trump made it clear he would not be appearing in the next debate with Harris, and given what Trump has previously made clear, his Sept. 10 showdown with Harris will almost certainly be his last.
