Another key reason for his decision is CNN’s perceived bias. Trump expressed skepticism about the fairness of the debate platform, despite acknowledging that CNN had been “very fair” during their previous debate. He explained that CNN was criticized by what he referred to as the “radical-left lunatics” for being too balanced in its coverage.
He elaborated on this point by stating, “In other words, they won’t be fair again because they took a lot of abuse from the radical left.” Trump’s distrust of the network’s ability to remain neutral appears to have played a major role in his rejection of the debate invitation.
Trump is adamant that there is no advantage in facing Harris again, having already participated in two previous debates—one with President Joe Biden and another with Harris herself. Reflecting on those experiences, he stated, “Although good entertainment value… I’ve already done two: one with Crooked Joe Biden at CNN and the other one with Kamala on ABC.”
Trump also underscored that the ABC debate was challenging, with what he described as a “three-on-one” scenario, referring to the network’s perceived alignment with Harris. Despite the tough conditions, Trump said, “I was given credit for doing a very good job,” a sign that he feels he’s already proven his debating prowess and doesn’t need to do it again.
Trump’s comments also alluded to Harris’s current campaign struggles. “She’s had her chance to do it with FOX, and they turned it down,” Trump remarked, referencing Harris’s earlier refusal to debate on FOX News. Now, he suggests, Harris wants to face him again on CNN because “she’s losing badly.”
For Trump, agreeing to another debate just weeks before the election would only serve as a distraction, with little potential for political gain. He made it clear that he’s ready to move on, saying, “The problem with another debate is it’s just too late.”
The debate drama has been building for some time. Last week, The Gateway Pundit reported that Trump had hinted he would not go through with a second debate against Harris. Now, that prediction has come true, with Trump firmly rejecting the idea of another showdown.
Trump’s decision to reject CNN’s invitation has sparked discussions about whether Harris’s campaign is indeed faltering, as Trump suggests. With the debate date approaching and voting already underway, it’s uncertain how this decision will impact the final weeks of the election campaign.
In the meantime, Trump appears content to let the last debate with Harris, held on September 10, stand as the final face-off. With no further debates in the works, it looks like voters will head to the polls without witnessing another Trump-Harris showdown.
