uhhh... Is that "confirmed"? Seems to say "Trump still won't commit" which is substantially different from "Trump won't do it"

Yes. "confirmed'. He clarified that a second debate will not be happening

Where? In the article I see

“Are we going to do a rematch? I just don’t know,” he told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “We’ll think about it.”

His comments suggest he is not altogether serious about a sequel. In a morning phone call to the co-hosts of “Fox & Friends,” he said, “when you win the debate, I don’t, I don’t know that I want to do another debate.”

“I wouldn’t want to have Bret and Martha,” he said, before proposing Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham instead.

Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he would theoretically show up for a debate hosted by either NBC or Fox, but first “we have to determine whether or not we even want to do it.”

“Obviously, he likes these debates and he’s good at them, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to step back in the ring, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t. It’s his choice,” Vance told Fox News.

Which definitely shows insecurity, but nothing definite (unfortunately).

"There will be no third debate"

His fans had the same thoughts you did and he had to later clarify. He didn't want to admit it initially (what a shocker( but they forced his hand

Roasted.

Whoa, of course he tried to spin it as a win, but it’s still impressive that they forced him to admit he doesn’t want to debate Harris again.

His fans will probably believe his “version” of why he doesn’t want to, but for everyone else it’s pretty clear and that’s what counts.
