Trump ultimately secured slightly more speaking time onstage than Harris, buoyed by several back-and-forth exchanges with moderators over past remarks about Harris’s race, unfounded stolen election claims, and unsubstantiated rumors that immigrants in Ohio are stealing and eating residents’ pets.
At other times, Harris seemed to get under Trump’s skin when speaking about his crowd sizes and stance on abortion.
“She talks to us like toddlers but is doing a good job provoking him,” a House Republican, who declined to be named, told the Washington Examiner. “He’s right on policy but can’t keep to a message.”
Another unnamed House Republican acknowledged Trump “could have won the election tonight, but he didn’t close the deal.”
Following the debate, Trump made a surprise appearance in the “spin room,” an area nearby where reporters assemble to speak with elected officials, aides, and commentators but typically not the presidential candidates themselves.
“I thought that was my best Debate, EVER, especially since it was THREE ON ONE!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
The Harris campaign swiftly called for a second debate, which has not been set, to take place next month.
“Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate,” campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillion said in a statement. “Is Donald Trump?”

I wrote earlier about how Kamala Harris was trying to plan for a viral, unscripted moment in her debate with former President Donald Trump. If that sounds oxymoronic, you would be right. How can you plan for an "unscripted moment." But that tells you everything you need to know about Harris — it's all scripted, and nothing is natural, even something as simple and inconsequential as that.
She was allegedly even scripting how to shake hands with Trump, as I reported. That's pretty bizarre.
So when it came finally as the debate started, she just looked silly, chasing him down on the stage.
I think the point was she thought it made her look strong or like she was confronting him. But instead, it just looked like she was desperate to shake his hand, and frankly, it looked weird.
Pro tip? When you have to walk to someone like that, they are the superior. So that didn't go off well.
She ended up sounding like she was rehashing talking points over and over again, but then she wasn't answering the questions. When even Frank Luntz is calling you out for not answering, it may just be obvious to everyone.
She sounded rattled at points, but she had the assistance of the moderators; they were clearly in the tank for her, so it wasn't as fair as the CNN debate was. She kept making weird faces, and it wasn't a good look.
Trump had another funny moment early on, which was maybe one of the funniest moments so far. She reportedly was trying to have that viral "I'm talking" moment, according to reports about her planning. But he scooped her on that when, instead, he dropped that on her, and it may have been the line of the night, as she tried to make noises over him, although her mic was supposed to be muted.
People enjoyed that one, especially when, with Trump going there, if she was planning it, she no longer could use it.

It’s debate night, and these aren’t the headlines the Kamala Harris camp wanted to see leading up to what could be the decisive moment for the 2024 election. The vice president must convince a large swath of voters who are undecided about her. Was this the reason for evading the press—to ensure she could make her case before a national audience when crucial swing states, like Pennsylvania, are about to begin early voting? It’s a gamble, especially with a candidate as awkward, unqualified, and nearly braindead as Joe Biden.
Ahead of tonight’s showdown, Kamala got slapped with a CNN deep-dive into her record, which shocked its hosts over the pungent odor of political insanity; the woman wanted to cut ICE funding and provide taxpayer-funded gender mutilation surgeries for illegal aliens. She’s been slapped with brutal polls showing the race virtually tied, which is a Trump win in the Electoral College—Nate Silver gives the former president a 64 percent chance of clinching 270. And now, her policy section rollout struck disaster as the source code shows it’s a copy-and-paste job from the Biden 2024 website. The push to cast her as the “change” candidate imploded, though we knew this wouldn’t work. She’s been in the White House for the past three-and-a-half years. Harris is the incumbent. The revelation comes from a damning piece in The New Republic which warned that the Harris camp can no longer afford to run on vibes, brat antics, and joy.
After seven weeks of euphoria over Kamala Harris’s ascension to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket, panic finally returned to the party on Sunday. The New York Times published a poll showing Donald Trump with a slim lead over Harris nationally and a dead heat in the seven swing states that will decide the November election.
[…]
…Harris has plenty of time—and one pivotal debate—to define herself for the voters. But that will require abandoning the cautious approach she’s taking up since becoming the nominee—and publicly breaking with Joe Biden.
Three days before the Times poll came out, amid growing consternation about her deliberate lack of a clear and detailed agenda, Kamala Harris’s campaign announced a new policy—sort of. Harris, her campaign said, was no longer in favor of banning plastic straws.
[…]
The campaign’s strategy, it seemed, was to ride those good summer vibes and avoid the risk of an aggressive policy agenda that would expose her to criticism. But having too few policies is also risky, not least because it makes Harris look like she doesn’t stand for anything (and also because her few policy stances then get nitpicked to death: Her price-gouging solution was roundly criticized by economists across the political spectrum, while her tip policy has come under fire because it was first taken up by Trump).
The Harris campaign is only now, belatedly, realizing that this is a problem. On Sunday, they finally added an “Issues” section to her website. It includes a slew of policies that the campaign has previously outlined, as well as sections on reproductive and civil rights. Unfortunately for Harris, its release was undermined by a simple but telling error: The page’s source code revealed that parts of the platform were copied directly from Biden’s campaign page.
This is dangerous territory for Harris, given that the Times poll found that more than 60 percent of voters wanted the next president to represent a “major change” from Biden—and only a quarter felt that Harris represented that change.
This veteran, who worked hard to start her business and buy her food truck, is now sharing her story of selling it to an illegal immigrant who has no credit or savings but is able to purchase it because he is going to receive funds.
“I need my president to tell me why I've worked so hard all these years, all these decades, and couldn't get a business loan. But I bust my ass to get the money to create my business, and now we've got immigrants coming here, and they're getting money. Money! For doing nothing but just being here. It's not right, and I want answers.“

Native-born Americans have lost more jobs than migrants have gained over the past year. That’s Bidenomics!
Donald Trump has been viciously attacked (but what else is new?) for claiming 100% of new jobs under Joe Biden have gone to immigrants, including illegal migrants. It turns out that, as usual, Trump was on to something the media doesn’t want you to know; namely, that native-born U.S. workers’ jobs have dropped more than migrants’ jobs have grown. The numbers might shock you.
Economist E.J. Antoni posted on X(Twitter), “Aug jobs report shows more pain for native-born Americans, who've lost more than 1.3 million jobs over the last year, while foreign-born workers have gained over 1.2 million jobs - the American worker has been left behind in this 'recovery'.”
Show host Charlie Kirk expanded on the numbers illustrating the Biden-Harris administration’s failure, referring to Trump’s controversial claim. “Remember when the press lost its collectivist mind when Trump said very accurately that over 100% of job gains under Biden were for illegals and other foreigners? Well 635k of job gains were foreign-born in August while 1,325,000 native-born Americans LOST their job. Not a typo.”
Kirk did note the fact that “We typically post a job loss in August due to seasonal labor, but this is still a huge number compared to past years.” He added a stunning assertion, “Here's the key: Since pre-Covid, all the NET job gains—4.4 million!!—have gone to foreign-born workers while jobs among native-born Americans have fallen 833k over that same time.” He included a chart in his post and cited Antoni on the numbers. Yet another jobs-related scandal for the Biden-Harris administration.
It is unfortunately true, as Kirk then added, that “Mass immigration incentivizes businesses to hire cheap, near slave labor at rock bottom prices, and disincentivizes paying living wages to native-born workers. This is an absolute TRAVESTY. Enough!!”
