In a recent presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris effectively challenged former President Donald Trump, drawing accolades even from conservative commentators for her well-prepared and assertive performance. Harris accused Trump of being a 'disgrace' and claimed world leaders mock him, while Trump struggled to counter her attacks, often falling into traps she set. His comments about migrants allegedly eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, and his repeated denial of the 2020 election loss were particularly criticized. Moderators intervened to fact-check Trump, with some pundits suggesting they failed to challenge Harris sufficiently. Overall, analysts noted that Trump had a poor night, focusing on outdated grievances rather than addressing pressing issues. Many believe Harris emerged from the debate in a strong position, while Trump's reliance on familiar talking points may have hindered his performance.
