President Trump, 78, said he participated in CNN's June 27 debate against President Biden and ABC's September 10 debate against President Harris.
The former president also noted that he accepted an invitation to the Sept. 4 debate that was supposed to be hosted by Fox News, but “she turned it down.”

President Trump claimed, “The first thing a professional boxer does when he loses a match is “demand a rematch.''
“The process is long overdue and voting has already begun. There will be no rematch!” he announced, dashing the hopes of several networks planning to host the final showdown.

CNN announced Tuesday that President Trump has set a deadline of noon Thursday for him to accept an invitation to the Oct. 23 debate in Atlanta.
Harris, 59, previously accepted the network's offer.
“On September 21, CNN sent invitations to both Vice President Harris and former President Trump's campaigns to participate in this fall's CNN debate.

The 45th president concluded his post by writing: It's Donald J. Trump. ”
