Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci's confidence in former President Donald Trump wanting a rematch debate with Vice President Kamala Harris seems to be wavering. Following a lackluster performance in their initial debate, Scaramucci initially predicted that Trump would be eager for a second chance to face Harris. However, Trump's recent declaration on Truth Social, stating "THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" and his rejection of CNN's proposed debate date of October 23, have raised doubts about his willingness to engage in another debate.

Scaramucci, speaking on CNN, had previously emphasized Trump's competitive nature, likening him to a wrestler or UFC fighter. However, in a recent Twitter post, Scaramucci admitted to miscalculating Trump's intentions, noting that Trump may have lost his usual fervor for such confrontations. Scaramucci, who attended the ABC News presidential debate as a guest of Harris, has distanced himself from his former boss since leaving the administration, becoming a vocal critic of Trump's policies and actions.

Trump's refusal to participate in a second debate with Harris has sparked speculation about his motivations, with some pointing to his avoidance of admitting defeat in their first encounter. Harris, on the other hand, has accepted the invitation for a rematch, indicating her readiness to engage in further discussions on pressing national issues. The back-and-forth between the two camps regarding the potential for another debate reflects the ongoing political tension and strategic maneuvering as the next election cycle approaches.
