Donald Trump on Thursday ruled out another presidential debate against Kamala Harris, as her campaign announced a substantial fundraising haul following their meeting on stage.

Trump, the Republican nominee, declared on Truth Social that "THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" after his Tuesday debate with Harris and his previous debate in June against President Joe Biden. He equated rejecting another debate to a "prizefighter" avoiding a rematch after a loss.

Trump's statement came a day after he hesitated on the possibility of another debate with Harris, despite encouragement from some Republicans like Senator John Thune. This decision implies that the audience may not witness another Trump-Harris face-off prior to the November election, although viewership for their recent debate exceeded 67 million.
