Vice President Harris’s campaign called for another presidential debate against former President Trump, just moments after Tuesday’s event in Philadelphia ended. “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.
That’s what they saw tonight and what they should see at a second debate in October,” Harris campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. She added, “Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?”
Trump, for his part, said his team would think about participating in another debate. He claimed that Harris calling for another debate in his mind meant she lost. “She wants to do another one because she was beaten tonight. I don’t know if we’re going to do another one,” he said during an unexpected appearance in the spin room. “She wants a second debate because she lost tonight, very badly… we’ll think about that.”
The debate hosted by ABC was the first between Harris and Trump.

agree with bearsfootball516 and twodogsbarking - it's trolling and his "handlers" (whoever is even able to briefly put a lasso on him) would probably not want him to go another round.
The VP debate is still on for Oct. 1st so the GOP will probably now try to "salvage" that disastrous debate performance by throwing Vance in the ring (who is probably an even worse debater given his weird, freaky, and extreme misogynist views 
).
Good characterization of what will happen! 
He'll be doing this - 
we are witnessing the dawn of the new Democrats!!! 
about fucking time.

I don't blame her.
I think Team Harris did so because they knew Trump would AUTOMATICALLY oppose hot mics purely on the grounds that Harris FAVORED them. But he should have taken into consideration that taking away hot mics would also take away his bully pulpit...just like he should have taken into consideration that pushing Biden out of the race would NOT solve the problem of there being too many over-aged, possibly cognitively-impaired candidates on the ballot...
