WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Former US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he was less inclined to participate in a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris and strongly criticized the moderators as well as their network for repeatedly correcting him, the US media reported.
The two candidates faced off on ABC News on Tuesday night to spar on the economy, immigration, and the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Trump said he gave his best performance ever, while the Harris camp celebrated her victory and called for a second debate.
“Well, I’d be less inclined to, because we had a great night. We won the debate. We had a terrible network. I think they were terrible. They should be embarrassed. I mean they kept correcting me,” Trump said during an audio interview with Fox and Friends.
“I even complained a couple of times. ‘Why are you not correcting them?’. Look, they should have corrected six or seven times,” Trump added.
Harris became the Democratic presidential nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race amid pressure from the Democratic party following a poor performance against Trump in their first and only debate of the 2024 election cycle in June. The election will be held on November 5.
