The former President has been super wishy-washy about doing another debate, telling Fox News, "When a fighter loses, they say, ‘I want a rematch. I won the debate. I don’t know that I want to do another debate."

Then, yesterday, he said once and for all he wasn't going to do it: "THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!"

Top Democrats call for resignation of Homeland Security internal watchdog
Two top Democrats in the U.S. Congress called for the internal watchdog of the Department of Homeland Security to resign on Thursday, after the release of a nonpartisan report alleging repeated misconduct and obstruction. DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari's conduct was "evidence that he has seriously compromised the public's trust and is plainly not fit to serve in a position that requires him to guard the public interest and act beyond reproach," Representative Jamie Raskin, top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, and Representative Bennie Thompson, the senior Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a joint statement. A report released by the independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency said that Cuffari, appointed by Republican President Donald Trump in 2019, lied to Congress about previous investigations into his misconduct, and said he wasted $1.4 million of taxpayer dollars on investigations of former senior staff in personal retaliation suits.
