Snuck into the rants about immigrants and hyperbolic recitations of his single term in office during his lowly-attended North Carolina rally, Republican presidential candidate and convicted felon Donald Trump declined a second debate with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, claiming that it was “too late,” Yahoo News reports.
After Harris accepted CNN’s invitation for an October debate on Saturday, Trump said, “The problem with another debate is that it’s just too late. Voting has already started,” he told the crowd. “She had her chance to do it with Fox.” Fox offered to host a debate between the two, but Harris refused the invitation from a cable network that had to pay a $787.5 million defamation settlement for lies it knowingly broadcast in support Trump’s election conspiracy.
