I really hope she shows up whether he does or not.
I saw someone describe this as Trump’s Kobayashi Maru - if he goes, he’ll get destroyed again, but if he doesn’t go, he’ll look like he’s afraid of her.
I don’t think that he’s likely to do any more debates. The last one definitely hurt him in the polls, and he’s been publicly making arguments as to why he shouldn’t need to do any more.
If I were gonna guess, the only way that we’re going to see another debate with Trump is if he somehow falls so far behind prior to the election that his campaign thinks that a win is very unlikely and is willing to try for any Hail Mary tactic that might give Trump a shot at getting his hand back in.
And in that scenario, I don’t know if Harris would agree.
And there’s not much time for something like that to happen.

But the Trump campaign quickly responded Saturday by reiterating the Republican’s declaration that there would not be another debate, pointing to his social media post last week that read, “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!”
At a rally Saturday afternoon, Trump claimed October 23 is “just too late” because “voting has already started.”
I love how on Lemmy you can be pretty sure this reference needs no explanation. We’re all nerds and I love it.
It’s the Star Trek training sim test where there’s no way to actually win.

That is correct.
