In a riveting turn of events, Republican Party member Donald Trump again brushed off talks of a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Following a nationwide buzz across the United States regarding the presidential candidate rivals’ debate, the former U.S. president has today again turned away from the discussion, citing poll results.
Donald Trump’s Poll Result Speaks It All
Speaking in an interview on Fox Business Network, the Republican Party member stated, “Well, I want to,” pointing towards the debate. However, in a follow-up statement, he noted, “Right now I say, ‘Why should I do a debate?”
I’m leading in the polls, and everybody knows her; everybody knows me,” Donald Trump added. These statements further underscore that a debate between the presidential candidate rivals is currently not in the scenario.
Meanwhile, the tides have already turned in favor of the Republican Party member as he has a 1.1% lead on Kamala Harris, based on 97 polls. Further, with his pro-cryptocurrency stance, Trump has garnered additional support nationwide.
The former president initially denied a debate, claiming that the plans could not be cemented due to Democrats’ Biden replacement chronicle. Earlier this week, the Republican also stated that he would eventually end up debating Kamala Harris, although there is also a case for not doing it.

Harris’ Campaign Gains Traction?
Simultaneously, Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has gained significant traction recently. The Democratic Party member raised a record $ 310 million in July, per her campaign today.
Overall, the VP has raised over $1 billion this presidential cycle, marking a monumental stride despite significant backlash. On the other hand, it’s also worth mentioning that the rival Republican raised $138.7 million in July and has $327 million cash on hand.
Recently, Harris rebranded her approach as a cryptocurrency-friendly candidate, aiming to solidify winning odds. Nonetheless, the mover by Democratic member faced significant skepticism.
Also, it’s worth noting that data by Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market, showed winning odds significantly in favor of the Republican member. According to the data, Donald Trump’s winning odds soared to 54%, whereas Harris’ chances stood slimmer at 44%.
