Former President Donald Trump expressed regret for not directly confronting ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. On Fox News, he claimed he was unfairly treated, stating that while he tried to maintain elegance, he wished he had challenged the anchors more. Trump criticized the fact-checking he faced compared to Harris, who he argued received preferential treatment, and described her responses as 'word salad'. Despite these criticisms, Trump described the debate as his best one ever, asserting he was right about rising crime rates. He also joked about a recent assassination attempt, praising the Secret Service for their quick response. Polls indicate that while Trump believes he won the debate, many voters favored Harris's performance.
