Donald Trump’s decision to avoid another debate with Vice President Kamala Harris came after a performance that left his team struggling to recover. On Tuesday night, Harris took control with sharp answers and a calm demeanor, earning praise from across the political spectrum. Two key polls followed: CNN showed Harris winning 63% to 37%, and YouGov gave her a 54% to 31% lead. Even 31% of Trump’s own supporters admitted Harris won.
Trump, known for bold statements, quickly declared, “There will be no debate,” likely trying to shift focus from the negative reactions. While this may seem final, it mirrors Trump’s usual strategy of making strong claims to gain leverage or media attention.
Harris’s strong performance boosted her standing, while Trump faced rare bipartisan criticism. His decision to skip a rematch may suggest he’s acknowledging Harris’s clear win and his reluctance to face her again on the debate stage.
