Democrats are mocking Donald Trump for his decision to skip a second debate with Kamala Harris, labeling him a "chicken." The Harris campaign intensified its jabs on Friday, asserting that the Republican nominee owes it to the voters to engage in another matchup. Trump announced on Thursday that he would not participate in a third debate, just two days after a contentious encounter in Philadelphia where Harris challenged him on various topics, including the attendance at his rallies. The former president's refusal to debate has drawn criticism from Harris and her supporters, who argue that he should face her again to provide clarity to the electorate.

Kamala Harris held a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday, where she called for a second debate with Donald Trump. This appeal came just two days after her strong performance in a debate against the former president in Philadelphia. During the rally, Harris emphasized the importance of having another debate, stating, “We owe it to the voters to have another debate,” which was met with enthusiastic applause from the crowd. She highlighted the significance of the upcoming election and the critical issues at stake, saying, “On Tuesday night, I discussed topics that truly matter to families across America, such as reducing the cost of living. Unfortunately, that’s not what we heard from Donald Trump.”
