WASHINGTON, D.C. (TIP): Former President Donald J. Trump declared on his social media site on Thursday, September 12, that he would not debate Vice President Kamala Harris again.

Mr. Trump, who has insisted that he won Tuesday, September 10 night’s debate while his aides have privately acknowledged he had a rough outing, wrote on his Truth Social site that there “will be no” second debate with Ms. Harris. Minutes later, the vice president told rallygoers in Charlotte, N.C., that she and Mr. Trump “owe it to voters” to square off again.

The post-debate windfall for the Harris campaign is the latest sign of the momentum she’s picked up with less than two months until Election Day, even as she insisted in Charlotte that she was the underdog and mocked part of Mr. Trump’s performance.
Harris campaign said it took in $47 million in donations in the 24 hours after the debate at which Harris met Trump met for the first time. Shortly after the debate, which drew 67.1 million viewers, she received the support of the pop megastar Taylor Swift, whose endorsement post sent more than 400,000 users to a voter information site in just 24 hours.
