In the recent presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris was widely regarded as the stronger performer against Donald Trump, showcasing her assertiveness and clarity on issues such as healthcare and national security. Harris highlighted Trump's lack of a health plan and effectively countered his criticisms of President Biden, particularly on economic policies and abortion rights. However, her response to questions about Israel and the ongoing conflict drew criticism for lacking depth, as analysts noted the implications of her statements on international humanitarian law. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz controversially declared Harris the debate winner, breaking from typical diplomatic neutrality, while emphasizing Israel's long-term existence regardless of the election outcome. Despite Harris's perceived success, polls suggest the debate is unlikely to significantly alter voter opinions as most viewers' perceptions remained unchanged. As the election approaches, Harris's campaign strategy continues to focus on resonating with key voter concerns.
