Former President Donald Trump revealed why he won't debate Vice President Kamala Harris again in an exclusive statement to the New York Post on Thursday (September 12).

“We just don’t think that there’s any need for it,” Trump said during a phone interview shortly after announcing his decision on his Truth Social account. “We’ve done two. You know, one against Biden [on June 27], one against Comrade Kamala. I did well. I did really well.

“The debate polls, every single poll, had us winning it.”

Trump, 78, previously shared a lengthy post on his Truth Social account claiming Harris' request to have another debate meant that he was the winner.

"When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, 'I WANT A REMATCH.' Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate," he wrote. "She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class. Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe - It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS. KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!"

Several early polls showed that most voters believed Harris won the debate with Tuesday night. The vice president was viewed to have a better performance than Trump by 63% of respondents in the CNN/SSRS poll, 53% in the SoCal Strategies/On Point Politics/Red Eagle Politics poll and 54% in the YouGov polls conducted after the debate.

Voters were evenly split at 50% on which candidate would perform the strongest in the CNN poll prior to the debate. Additionally, 96% of Harris supporters said their candidate had a better performance while a smaller 69% majority of Trump's supporters believed he had a stronger showing in the CNN poll. The former president claimed he did a "great job" in what he called an "unfair" and "rigged" presidential debate Harris broadcasted and moderated by ABC News.

Trump called into FOX News' morning show FOX & Friends and claimed "it was three on one" after he was fact checked by ABC News moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir several times.

"I thought I did a great job," Trump said.

“It was a rigged deal, as I assumed it would be, because when you looked at the fact that they were correcting everything and not correcting with her,” he added.

“It was a three-on-one — that’s OK, I’ve had worse odds before, but never so obvious,” Trump said of the moderators. “They’re dishonest. I think ABC took a big hit last night … They ought to take away their license for the way they did that.”

Davis and Muir corrected Trump a total of four times, which many Republicans perceived as a lack of impartiality, yet the former president still believed he had a strong performance.

“I’ve been told I’m a good debater,” Trump said. “I think it was one of my better debates, maybe my best debate.”
