Watch as Donald Trump delivered remarks on the economy in Tucson, Arizona, on Thursday 12 September.
Ahead of his speech, the Republican presidential candidate said he would not participate in another election debate against his rival, vice president Kamala Harris.
“THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He is continuing to battle the fallout from Tuesday’s clash with Ms Harris, which he is widely believed to have lost after allowing himself to be baited by the Democrat into ranting about Haitain immigrants eating domestic pets and defending the entertainment value of his political rallies.
In recent days, three major snap polls of viewers conducted in the aftermath of the contest suggest Vice President Harris came out comfortably on top by a combined margin of 23 percentage points.
Surveys for CNN, YouGov and SoCal Strategies found she won by an average of 57 per cent to Trump’s 34 per cent.
Even prominent Republicans have admitted the GOP candidate lost, with veteran strategist Karl Rove writing in The Wall Street Journal that Mr Trump had been “crushed by a woman he called dumb as a rock”.
