GOP pollster: Trump won’t 'have enough time to recover' if he debates Harris again

Repblican pollster Noelle Nikpour on Thursday explained why Donald Trump refusing to do another debate against Kamala Harris was the "wisede decision" to make.

According to CBS News, the former president first made the announcement via Truth Social, declaring, "THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" The first debate took place in June, against President Joe Biden.

Per the report, "Later in the day, at a campaign stop in Tucson, Arizona, he said, 'Because we've done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate. Too late anyway, the voting has already begun.'"

Noting that Nikpour has spoken with big GOP donors, Fox News' Neil Cavuto asked, "From a political standpoint, is it better in their mind that Donald Trump not debate again — that it might not be such a good idea? What do you think?"

The GOP pollster replied, "A hundred percent on that. I think a lot of the donors — at least the ones that I was texting with the night of the debate — were not exactly thrilled about how that debate went down."

Nikpour continued, "What I will tell you, is that I think It was smart for Donald Trump not to do the debate. I think that was a good decision with the campaign. And I'll tell you why. Because depending on when that debate will be scheduled, and if he has another repeat performance like he did, I don't know if the campaign can recover that quickly. I don't think they have enough time to recover from that. We've got 54 days before the election. By the time the debate happens, you've got to have ads ready, and be able to respond to anything that would be negative. So I think not doing the debate was a wise decision."
