Former President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance in the spin room on Tuesday evening after his first debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in their race for the White House.The Democratic presidential nominee left after the event and did not stick around to answer reporters' questions.In the rare spin room appearance, Trump spoke to reporters for several minutes. Typically, candidates have surrogates talk to reporters following the debate instead of making personal appearances.'We won the debate. We had a terrible network. I think they were terrible, and they should be embarrassed.'Trump told journalists, "My best debate ever, I think.""It showed how weak they are, how pathetic they are at what they're doing to destroy our country on the border, with foreign trade, with everything," he remarked. "We're getting polls that show 92 to 6, 88 to 11. We're having a lot of great polls."Trump then appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News show to recap his performance. During the sit-down, he stated that the two ABC News moderators were biased toward Harris."I had a good time. I think it was our best debate ever. I thought it was really good. We had three against one, but I anticipated that," Trump told Hannity."[Harris is] complaining about all the stuff that's wrong with the country, and they've been there for three and a half years," Trump said, reiterating statements he made during the debate.Hannity and Trump set the record straight about the falsehoods Harris said about the former president during the event. Hannity noted that Trump never supported a national abortion ban and had nothing to do with Project 2025, despite Harris' claims.Harris' campaign reportedly is pushing to schedule a second debate with Trump. "She wants it because she lost," Trump said.When asked whether he would participate in another debate with Harris, Trump replied, "Well, I don't know. I have to think about it.""Maybe if it was on a fair network I would do that," he added.When asked why he decided to make a spin room appearance, he responded, "I just felt I wanted to. I was very happy with the result. It's a very unfair situation. They're weaponized our government politically."On Wednesday morning, Trump called into Fox News' "Fox & Friends" and restated that the debate was three against one, noting that the moderators fact-checked his comments but not Harris'."The press is so dishonest in this country, it's amazing," he told Fox News. "We won the debate. We had a terrible network. I think they were terrible, and they should be embarrassed."Trump noted that he is "not inclined" to do another debate with Harris because he "won the debate by a lot.""But I think we let it settle in, and let's see what happens," he added.Unlike Trump, Harris has largely avoided media appearances with the exception of one interview she and her vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, did together with CNN in late August.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — A petition to recall the entire city commission for Springfield is being processed in response to the town's leadership failing to address long-standing issues that have been made worse through the influx of Haitians in recent years.Citing Section 59 of the city's charter, the petition, obtained by Blaze Media, says it is seeking to recall "the entire membership" of the Springfield City Commission. Mayor Rob Rue, Assistant Mayor David Estrop, and Commissioners Krystal Brown, Bridget Houston, and Tracey Tackett are named on the draft document.The petition accuses the city of not enforcing building codes and says the city has used money earmarked for hiring police officers for other purposes. It also calls for the removal of the city's leadership because: "The current members of the Commission have breached their public responsibilities.""The Commission has created an untenable housing crisis by purposefully abandoning prior practices for consistent code enforcement. The Commission has permitted unscrupulous landlords to proliferate unsafe tenements which have caused their occupants to live in substandard conditions, have created substantial occupational hazards for public safety officers who are dispatched to such tenements, and caused long term residents to be squeezed out of the local housing market.""The Commission has failed to maintain an adequate Police Department. Several years ago, the City voters imposed on themselves a special real estate tax levy to employ an additional 24 Police Officers. ... Instead of employing the additional 24 Police Officers, the Commissioners have spent the restricted funds for purposes other than the intended Police Officer compensation ..."The lack of housing for U.S. citizens in Springfield has been one of the most pressing issues. Julio Rosas/Blaze MediaA committee to oversee the petition process is still being assembled. Once that is completed, the committee will officially notify the city commissioners, who are then given five days to file a 200-word written statement in their defense. After that, the gathering of signers of the petition will be allowed to proceed.A recall election will take place if at least 15% of registered voters in the last regular municipal election sign the petition within the 30-day period.The lack of housing for U.S. citizens in Springfield has been one of the most pressing issues since the arrival of 20,000 Haitians within the past few years."What they'll do instead of having a single family in a home that's maybe a three-bedroom, they'll actually rent bedrooms out to individual families. So the landlord will technically triple his rent [income]," local Mark Sanders explained.Blaze News made multiple calls to the Springfield city manager's office, but many of those calls went unanswered. Blaze News attempted to leave a message for one individual, but the mailbox was full.U.S. citizens who have been pushed out of their homes and have been able to afford to move out of Springfield have done so, but not everyone has had the means. A source shared the following photos of encampments that have sprung up around the town. Like Blaze News?
