Former President Donald Trump recently expressed his opinion that it was too late to hold another presidential debate for the 2024 election, citing the fact that Americans have already begun casting their votes. Trump made these remarks during a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina.
During the rally, Trump mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting that she was pushing for a debate at the last minute because she was allegedly losing badly in the polls. Harris had earlier confirmed that she had accepted an invitation to participate in a debate in October.
However, the Trump campaign reiterated the former president's stance that he would not be participating in any further debates. Trump's argument centered around the timing of the election and the fact that voting had already commenced, making it impractical to schedule another debate.
The issue of holding additional debates in the lead-up to the election has been a point of contention between the two camps. While Harris has shown willingness to engage in further debates, Trump has remained firm in his decision not to participate.
As the election draws nearer, the focus has shifted to other campaign activities and strategies, with both candidates working to secure support and sway undecided voters. The decision regarding debates has become a minor but notable aspect of the overall election narrative.
With the election season in full swing and voting underway, the question of whether additional debates would have any significant impact remains uncertain. Both candidates continue to campaign vigorously, each seeking to gain an edge in the race for the presidency.
