While Trump had previously pushed for multiple debates, his enthusiasm for a rematch seemed to wane after his performance received mixed reviews, with many labeling it chaotic and riddled with false claims.
The morning after the debate, Trump appeared on Fox & Friends and doubled down on his claim that he had won the debate. “The first thing they did is ask for a debate because when a fighter loses, he says, ‘I want a rematch,’” Trump stated.
When pressed about whether he would agree to another face-off, the former president hesitated, saying, “I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night, we won the debate, we had a terrible network.”
