Donald Trump has announced that he will not participate in a second debate with Kamala Harris, claiming he won the first debate and alleging that Harris has declined previous opportunities to meet. Trump criticized Harris and Joe Biden for allegedly destroying the country and said there will be no third debate. The Harris campaign, however, has said they would be willing to debate Trump again in October.
A poll conducted by Trump’s pollsters showed that support for him has increased in swing states since the debate, with Trump now leading Harris among likely voters. Despite this, a bomb threat prompted the evacuation of Springfield’s city hall, fueled by false claims of Haitian immigrants eating pets in the city. Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer has been blamed for Trump’s botched debate performance, and Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris after the debate led to a surge in voter registration.
Meanwhile, Harris is embarking on an “aggressive” campaign schedule following the debate, with plans to visit North Carolina and Pennsylvania. European diplomats were also closely watching the debate, with many believing that Harris emerged as the victor. The focus now shifts to the upcoming Senate elections, with predictions that Republicans may gain control of the Senate. The Department of Homeland Security has designated the upcoming January 6 joint session of Congress as a “national special security event” in light of past events.
