in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little uh ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in sped room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years he'd been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming in this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she entered the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was a certainly a different debate in tenor just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with telsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him seek R election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of K Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthc care and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values in moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there were some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6 and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that C Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a presidential handshake since in 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by KL Harris not just Shing Harris but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know being effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president of bate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intim ated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different

the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the an we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good

CA Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off is little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 16 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by KL Harris not just Shing Harris but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name check Victor Orban is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this was our first president go debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris Why have you've done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming in this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she entered the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was a certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him seekr election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed providing from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she had has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election the there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6 and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they' prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to re litigating those things that we spent the past years doing the legal system other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that KLA Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think

tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going Toe to Toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump i' say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him seek election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election the there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6 and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progress he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that kamla Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by K Harris not just shaking Harren but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign Leaders The Travelers she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president ofate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head tohe against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years he' been vice president was strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the cared fracking and that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh cycles that we had had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she entered the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was a correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with Tulsa gabard and had a tough time to defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president uh having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going toe to- toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an

anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real oportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming in this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she entry the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all in your beting themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best of Bates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with telsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him seek R election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage kamla Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John Carrey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election the there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to reating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that KLA Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by Kell Harris not just Shing Harren but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the Inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name check Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president Jo debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe

Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that who thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that KLA Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good uh moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy when whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind it fizzled a little bit since she entered the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tener tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for k Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best of Base I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsy gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him secet election so it was a bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage kamla Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of kamla Harris in the last 5 years he had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6 and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by KL Harris not just shaking Harris but introducing herself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive in saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as

ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and did have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried

kamla Harris in the last 5 years he had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to reating those things that we spent the past years doing the legal system in other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that CA Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by KL Harris not just shaking Harr but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged in but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done on her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in bid room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good uh moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since you Ed the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6th in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprised that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KL Harris where seasoned uh uh Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best debates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with Tulsa gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going toe to- toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him seek reelection so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage kamla Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of kamla Harris in the last 5 years he had a lot more liberal

whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with uh against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best debates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with telsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him secret election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such a success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage K Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of K Harris in the last 5 years he had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthc care and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to reating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um the K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since in 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by KL Harris not just shaking Harren but introducing yourself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to rcy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon as someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making um he did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very ently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing your really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little uh raggon and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up and in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she ENT the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates Maybe handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it

moments of the unexpected handshake and introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in sped room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K haris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in pennslvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh Med cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she enter the race in July no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tener tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president uh having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out out the sitting president um not having him secr election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of K Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe um brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6 and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to religating those things that we spent the past years doing the legal system in other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since in 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by K Harris not just shaking Harren but introducing herself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive in saying that uh Trump his you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was

how will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh Med cycles that we had coming in this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled

doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that KLA Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by K Harris not just shaking Harris but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign Leaders The Travelers she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center bid room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years he''s been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carb fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she entered the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tener tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best debates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president uh having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him seet election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and G he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to religating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system in other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that kamla Harris achieved her goal of getting under skin and I think took him off his little his best

inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsy gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president uh having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him secet election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthc care and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe um brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values in moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since in 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by KL Harris not just Shing Harris but introducing herself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged wi but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump has you know being us dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president ofate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little uh rag get in rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in sped room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years he'd been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she entered the race in July no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help haris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was a certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming into this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and in so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got

know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she enter the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with telsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsist performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him seekr election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage kamla Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years he had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that CA Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by K Harris not just Shing Harren but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel she's engaged wi but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them were comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name check Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president go baate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little uh ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in

talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as was opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um he did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good U moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she Ed the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tener tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of uh differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best debates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsy gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going Toe to Toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him seet the election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage kamla Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of kamla Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John carry in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as oppos to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off is his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by KL Harris not just shaking Harris but introducing herself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice

preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage comla Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of kamla Harris in the last 5 years he had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey and the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to relating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um the Kam Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by KL Harris not just shaking Harr but introducing herself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president go debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake and introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw on Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good U moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come in a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she ENT through the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best debates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with telsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him secret the election so it was a

election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was a certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president uh having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position and I thought she accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta he knocked out the sitting president um not having him secr election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of K Harris in the last five years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfin business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to religating those things that we spent the past years doing the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by K Harris not just shaking Harren but introducing herself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then we was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um he did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the expected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in bid room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good uh moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking k Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of it fizzled a little bit since chanre the race July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought

moments of the unexpected handshake introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little uh ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good U moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years he'd been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she ENT through the race in July no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intervening themselves being very definitive and what they thought was correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6th in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help haris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsy gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moment to the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him seek election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6 and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um the K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by KL Harris not just shaking Harr but introducing herself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump has you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon as someone that who thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling headen uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem

move on and focus on the future as opposed to re litigating those things that we spent the past years doing the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that k Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by KL Harris not just shaking Harris but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump has you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well gave been the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing yourself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little uh ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking k Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania that care about fracking and that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming in this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she entered the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to debate did help haris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was a certainly a different debate in tener tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she gave given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him secet election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election the there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the

inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with telsey gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe to- toe showing KN that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him seek R election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of K Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election the there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that CA Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by K Harris not just Shing Harris but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really PR uted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name check Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president go debate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good um moments and you know on he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years he' been vice president was strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she ENT the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for Kam Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best evat I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged

whenever you could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking Kam haris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president was strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she ented the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all inter beting themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for KLA Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best abates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with Tulsa gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting president um not having him seek R election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthc care and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values in moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel litigating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the the big progress he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off is little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move by K Harris not just Shing Harren but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engage wi but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for endorsement um Trump you know name check Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president go bate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good U moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years You' been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing Maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come at a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had

uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name checked Victor Orban is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making yeah I thought that kamla Harris um did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president go bate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good U moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigr energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabet fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come in a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she entered the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all intering themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6 in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help Harris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tener tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for k Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high thought she performed very admirably with against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best debates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with tulsy gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really U going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had a an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him seek election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage KLA Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of kamla Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthc care and the economy things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to reating those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progress he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that KLA Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a a powerful move move by K Harris not just Shing Harris but introducing herself as their names you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room Trump famously skipped the the inauguration in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign

name even more than he did his opponent on the stage kamla Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of KLA Harris in the last 5 years she had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthc care and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip-flopper like George Bush did against John krey in the 204 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election the there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election uh those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to re litigating those things that we spent the past years doing the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off his little his best debate game tonight I mean the handshake at the beginning we haven't had a a presidential handshake since 2016 the first Hillary Clinton debate and so that was a start to the debate that was very unexpected and I think showed um kind of a powerful move by KL Harris not just shaking Harren but introducing herself as their names and you know they hadn't met previously maybe or been in the same room uh Trump famously skipped the the inaug a in 2020 because of the dispute over the election so you know that was very surprising I thought that uh Harris really prosecuted the case on foreign policy and talked about both her strength as being sitting vice president some of the relationships she had with foreign leaders the travel that she's engaged with but then also being aggressive and saying that uh Trump is you know being using dictators uh and kind of prefers them more comfortable with them as opposed to democracy really harping on that theme very strongly and then was surprised when for an endorsement um Trump you know name check Victor orbon is someone that we thinks that he's you know been effective and so that kind of fed into that narrative that that she was making um he did exceedingly well given the high stakes coming into tonight this is our first president of bate ever Donald Trump this was his seventh and the polling hadn't uh been going very well in the National and Battleground states in the last few uh days and she prepared very diligently for this kind of took a week off the campaign Trail and showed that she was methodically prepared had done her homework and didn't seem to be intimidated uh going head-to-head against former president Trump and just from the the opening moments of the unexpected handshake introducing herself really set the tone that uh she this was going to be a different debate than we saw in Atlanta a few months ago and and yeah he looked a little uh ragged and rough shot uh at the end of the debate and didn't have his his best one I think he'd be the first to admit that the fact that he showed up in the media filing Center in SPID room at the end we haven't seen that in years and wants to try to change the subject to something as quickly as possible he had some good U moments and you know on the he tried to Pivot to immigration energy whenever he could he knows those are winning issues um kind of asking K Harris why haven't you done a lot of these things in the last three and a half years you've been vice president with strong but he had things like that I don't know how it will play with some of the Swing voters in Pennsylvania the carabat fracking that kind of thing but certainly an endorsement that she uh wants to have anybody would and this timing maybe could provide a bunch of momentum and could um come in a real opportune time and get off some of the negative uh me cycles that we had coming into this debate about her uh polling that uh kind of had fizzled a little bit since she ented the race in July said no matter what they did even if it was correct these two moderators had no trouble at all interbeing themselves being very definitive and what they thought was the correct answer and they called him on a few of his uh controversial statements and some of the questions were tough for both candidates maybe Harris handled them a little better but they were straight to the point a lot of people think we didn't have a big enough discussion on the 2020 election and January 6th in the last debate and so they're definitely both in terms of the questions and their integration to the debate did help haris and it's no surprise that whoever doesn't do as well in the debate is always going to turn to the moderators because it's kind of a popular tactic it was uh certainly a different debate in tenor tone just from the start tonight than we saw in Atlanta just a few months ago there was so much expectations coming to this as the race had narrowed in the last few days first debate for kamla Harris where seasoned Donald Trump has had seven contrasting Styles and backgrounds and kind of philosophies in the debate so it was a real Clash of differences between the two she given that she had such a tall task and the stakes were so high I thought she performed very admirably with uh against a very formidable opponent and so much scrutiny you know on this this race so she delivered one of her her best debates I mean she did very well against Mike Pence in uh 2020 but had a lot of inconsistency when she ran for president in 2019 she got bogged down in disputes with Tulsa gabard and had a tough time defending some of her record from California and tonight she was generally on the offense against Donald Trump um touting her experience as vice president having a Clear Vision for where she wanted to lead the country and was just from the opening moments of the debate um really going toe-to-toe showing that she had the presidential gravitas that's required for such a position um and I thought she uh accorded herself pretty well Donald Trump I'd say had an inconsistent performance certainly not as well as he did in Atlanta um he knocked out the sitting presidents um not having him seek election so it was a high bar for him to achieve such success throughout the night you could tell that he missed Joe Biden from the race and he preferred to run against him really maybe brought up his name even more than he did his opponent on the stage kamla Harris he had a lot of fertile ground to talk about the policy evolutions of kamla Harris in the last 5 years he had a lot more liberal positions on the environment and immigration and uh the healthcare and the economy and things like that that have changed and she's moderated and trying to maybe brand her as a flip flopper like George Bush did against John krey and the 2004 election at least making the argument she has no core values and moderate voters wouldn't be comfortable knowing where she may stand if she does win the election he there was some discussion there but instead of really focusing on that like a laser he reverted back to some unfinished business and grievances he had about January 6th and the accepting the results of the the 2020 election those are things I think especially for those independent voters they'd prefer to move on and focus on the future as opposed to Rel getting those things that we spent the past years doing in the legal system and other places so um as the debate progressed he just got a little bit less disciplined and you could tell um that K Harris achieved her goal of getting under his skin and I think took him off
