Donald Trump's conversation with Sean Hannity
When Hannity asked Trump about the Harris campaign's proposal for a second debate, the latter promptly replied, "It's because she lost. She wants it because she lost."
The former president stated that he would have to think about his response, as he went on to explain, "If you won the debate, I sort of think maybe I shouldn't do it. Why should I do another debate? She immediately said, 'We want another.' That's, you know, what happens when you're a prizefighter and you lose, you immediately want a new fight... a rematch.”
Trump said he would consider going up against Harris in another debate if it gets hosted by a "fair network."
