The political circus surrounding the possibility of a second debate between Donald Trump and the current Vice President, Kamala Harris, has taken an amusing turn. Harris has been pushing for another round after most agreed that it was a dismal showing by her and President Biden. This comes after the first debate, which was more about the moderator’s bias than actual discussion of issues—leaving many wondering if the Harris team is simply desperate or trying to distract from an obvious campaign spiral.
During a recent rally in North Carolina, Trump responded to Harris’ newfound interest in debating once again. Despite rebuffing the idea initially, he hinted that he might entertain it, but only if the mood strikes him favorably. Trump likened the situation to that of a boxer who is knocked out in the ring, only to plead for an immediate rematch. Clearly, Harris’ campaign is feeling the heat as they’ve been grappling with plummeting poll numbers and dismal support from constituents who appear to be tiring of their slippery policies.

What’s striking is the irony in Harris’ eagerness to debate now, especially after she refuses to participate in a September debate hosted by Fox News. One can almost hear the collective chuckle from conservatives as they realize that Harris wants a debate on CNN, a network known for its left-leaning bias, while she turned her back on a fair opportunity with Fox. It seems Harris realizes her chances are dwindling and now wants to throw herself back into the ring where she believes she might find a more favorable audience.
Trump certainly wasn’t shy in expressing his opinions about the debate landscape, insisting that the time for such a showdown is slipping away with early voting already in progress. The former president pointed out that it seemed rather opportunistic for Harris to demand a debate on her terms suddenly. He noted how her campaign has been struggling and seems to be grasping at straws at this point.
Adding to the comedy, Trump praised CNN for their debate, an unexpected compliment given the network’s well-documented bias against him. He acknowledged the unfairness of ABC’s coverage during the previous debate, emphasizing the lack of an even playing field. However, the absurdity of the situation remains. As the wheels of Harris’ campaign seem to be coming off, it’s clear that desperation has led to this hilarious spectacle of seeking out debates just weeks before Election Day.
