Watch: Trump waffles when asked about debate rematch with Kamala Harris

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump claimed victory in Tuesday night's presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris when confronted by reporters — but then he repeatedly went back and forth on whether he was open to having another one. Asked whether he would need any rule changes or format changes in order to definitively agree to a second debate, Trump said, "Well, you know, when you don't win, it's like a fighter. It's unclear what polls Trump is referring to; preliminary surveys conducted after the debate largely showed viewers believed Harris was the winner. Meanwhile, political observers were shocked by Trump's repeated fumbles in the debate as he fought with the moderators, made several false claims about migrants, the economy, abortion, and several other topics, and visibly grew flustered and angry as Harris criticized his record.
