44% : "When you win the debate, I don't know that I want to do another debate," Trump said, prompting host Steve Doocy to observe, "It sounds like you're a no.""Well I'd be less inclined to," Trump said, again claiming he had a "great night" -- though many Republicans felt he allowed Harris to stay on the attack.
43% : Harris's campaign has signaled that it wants a second debate, in October -- while Trump is wavering.
39% : Trump previously called for three debates with Harris, though none but the ABC News one was solidified -- and only after extensive back-and-forth over rules, including whether each candidate's microphone would be muted while the other was speaking.
29% : Jesse said Trump won that debate.
29% : Harris responded by saying she would talk about future debates only after Trump and her met on Sept. 10.
28% : "Under the bright lights, the American people got to see the choice they will face this fall at the ballot box: between moving forward with Kamala Harris, or going backwards with Trump," Harris campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon said in a statement after Tuesday night's debate hosted by ABC News.
28% : Trump opted to do a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Sept. 4 instead, and agreed to Tuesday's debate.

25% : By Wednesday morning, however, Trump told the hosts of "Fox & Friends" that he was leaning against debating Harris a second time.
24% : Trump said Wednesday that he is "less inclined" to participate.
22% : There were only two in 2020, with one canceled after Trump was diagnosed with covid-19 and declined to appear remotely rather than in person with Joe Biden.
21% : Trump interrupted to say he'd rather not have Baier and MacCallum and would prefer someone like "Sean, Jesse or Laura" -- apparently referencing Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham.
11% : In the spin room in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, Trump repeatedly told reporters that Harris would likely want a redo because he claimed she performed poorly.
