“After tonight, I don’t think Donald Trump will be insisting on another debate.”
– Whit Ayres, Republican Pollster
“Trump looked angry, scowling, and old”
– Chris Wallace on CNN tonight
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.”
– Taylor Swift in an Instagram post to her 283 million followers
By all accounts (that matter), Vice President Kamala Harris acquitted herself very, very well during the debate tonight with Trump.
Leigh Ann Caldwell and Theodoric Meyer writes for The Washington Post:
Harris’s strategy was to get under Trump’s skin, a campaign official said, and she did that.
A few examples:
She said people leave his rallies early “out of exhaustion and boredom.”
She said military leaders have told her he’s a “disgrace.”
She said 81 million people fired him and “he is having a very difficult time processing that.”
She said Russian President Vladimir Putin would “eat you for lunch.”
Swift signed her post as ‘Childless Cat Lady’— a reference to comments made by Trump’s running mate Senator JD Vance of Ohio, about women without children. (Hint: He wasn’t praising them).
