Kamala Harris dominated Donald Trump
In the latest U.S. presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris dominated Donald Trump, the former President, as reflected in a post-debate survey where Harris secured 63% of viewer support compared to Trump’s 37%.
The debate touched on critical issues like the economy and immigration, with Harris effectively challenging Trump’s positions and focusing on the future. Her calm demeanor and sharp rebuttals contrasted with Trump’s defensive approach, especially on topics like the 2020 election. Analysts believe this win boosts Harris’s momentum, though the race remains tight(
Trump, known for his aggressive debate style, seemed rattled during exchanges about his past actions, including references to his rally sizes and the Central Park Five case.
Harris, leveraging her background as a former prosecutor, kept him on the defensive throughout the night. Her ability to shift the focus to forward-looking policies was a defining element of her strategy, while Trump often referred to past grievances, particularly around the legitimacy of the 2020 election, a subject he continues to dispute.
Pollsters and analysts had pegged this debate as a crucial moment for both candidates, especially in a deeply divided electorate. Harris’s primary aim was to present herself as the change candidate, contrasting Trump’s backward-looking rhetoric with a vision for the future.
By repeatedly bringing up Trump’s criminal charges and his controversial policies, Harris not only gained the upper hand in the debate but also positioned herself as a leader capable of moving the U.S. beyond Trump’s polarizing influence.
This post-debate boost for Harris, according to experts, keeps her in a strong position in the race. While Trump’s base remains solid, his inability to sway undecided voters during the debate could be critical in the upcoming election.
