Donald Trump declines another presidential debate
Former President Donald Trump claims that he won the last two debates and doesn’t need to do a third.
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will headline a Trump campaign event Saturday in Savannah to connect with voters and answer questions about former President Donald Trump’s policies ahead of the Nov. 5 general election.

The event is part of the national “Team Trump Agenda 47 Policy Tour,” which coincides with Trump’s efforts to distance himself from Project 2025, a conservative blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation. Similar town halls were recently held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Morgantown, Pennsylvania.
During the second presidential debate, Trump denied having any involvement with Project 2025, and wrote “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it,” in a July post on the conservative social media site Truth Social. However, a USA TODAY analysis found that, of the project’s 38 creators, at least 31 had connections with Trump’s administration.

The Savannah town hall will be held at the Charles H Morris Center’s Trustees’ Garden, located at 10 E Broad St. Doors will open at 2 p.m., and the event is slated to begin at 3 p.m. Voters can register for the event on Trump’s campaign website.
