Vice President Kamala Harris says she believes that she and former President Donald Trump “owe it to voters to have another debate.”
Speaking at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, two days after she met the Republican on stage for the first time on Tuesday, Harris said Trump showed in the debate that he has “plans for how he would address the needs of the American people, because it’s all about him, it’s not about you.”
Her comments came minutes after Trump rejected another matchup, posting Thursday on Truth Social that “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” He also suggested that a “prizefighter" who loses a bout is always the one to call for a rematch.
Harris also mocked Trump for saying he has "concepts of a plan" to replace the Affordable Care Act, laughing as she quoted Trump from Tuesday night’s debate, when he was asked about his past support for repealing the law, colloquially known as Obamacare, without a plan to replace it.
“Concepts,” she said, as the crowd roared. “No actual plan. Concepts.” She continued, “Forty-five million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act. And he’s going to end it based on a concept?”
Harris’ campaign says it raised $47 million in the 24 hours after her first debate with Trump. The campaign says it came from nearly 600,000 donors.
