NEW YORK, NY (REUTERS) – Republican Donald Trump said on October 10  he will not debate Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, hours after Fox News invited the two presidential contenders to participate in a possible second debate on either October 24 or October 27.

Trump and Harris debated each other for the first time on September 10. Trump has said there would not be another debate before the election. He rejected a past invitation from CNN for an October 23 debate, accepted by Harris.

In its statement, Fox said a second debate “would present an opportunity for each candidate to make their closing arguments.”

Last week, Harris’ running mate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz debated Trump’s running mate and U.S. Senator JD Vance.

“THERE WILL BE NO REMATCH,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform. “SO, THERE IS NOTHING TO DEBATE.”

Trump said it was very late in the process now to have a debate.

In their September 10 debate, Harris put Trump on the defensive with a stream of attacks on his fitness for office, his support of abortion restrictions and his myriad legal woes.

Trump and his allies, aware that he had done poorly, began spinning the debate: the hosts were biased, Harris had been given the questions and challenged her to come to Fox to debate.
