Donald Trump has said that he’s “less inclined” to debate Kamala Harris again as he claimed that he won the showdown.
The former president made the comments during an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday morning.
“I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate. We had a terrible, terrible network,” he said.
This comes as the two candidates were reunited hours after their head-to-head presidential debate in Philadelphia as both attended a 9/11 memorial event at Ground Zero in New York City.
The Republican nominee was widely felt to have fallen apart on the ABC News debate stage, providing rambling answers on illegal immigration, abortion, and the economy and taking the bait whenever he was goaded by Harris, notably when she mocked his “boring and exhausting” rallies.
When the contest got underway, Trump went off on wild but familiar tangents, rehashing a recently debunked claim about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, inviting widespread ridicule.
Harris, meanwhile, used her time to cycle through Trump’s legacy of racist attacks, professional failings, and culpability for the Capitol riot.
Trump was dealt a further blow when Taylor Swift announced she’s endorsing Harris and Tim Walz.
