From the Trump campaign:
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Kamala Harris failed to convince undecided voters that she’s any different from Joe Biden.
The Times reported that undecided voters said Kamala “did not seem much different from Mr. Biden, and they wanted change.”
One voter said, “She didn’t, kind of, separate herself” and said she was “still on the fence.”
One black woman in Milwaukee told the Times, “Trump’s pitch was a little more convincing than hers.” She added, “When Trump was in office — not going to lie — I was living way better. I’ve never been so down as in the past four years. It’s been so hard for me.”
A voter in Arizona told the Times, “Trump had the more commanding presentation. There was nothing done by Harris that made me think she’s better. In any way.”
Likewise, Reuters reported: “Reuters interviewed 10 people who were still unsure how they were going to vote in the Nov. 5 election before they watched the debate. Six said afterward they would now either vote for Trump or were leaning toward backing him.”
Reuters found that the “Trump converts said they trusted him more on the economy” as they “said their personal financial situation had been better when he was president between 2017-2021.”
Voters told Reuters that “Harris did not convince them she would pursue different economic policies than Democratic President Joe Biden, a Democrat they largely blame for the high cost of living.”
One voter said, “I still don’t know what she is for. There was no real meat and bones for her plans.”
The New York Times and Reuters stories follow CNN’s flash poll showing that the margin of voters who trust President Trump over Kamala on the economy grew after the debate. CNN: “Voters who tuned in gave Trump a 20-point advantage over Harris after the debate on handling the economy, 55% to 35% – a margin that’s slightly wider than his pre-debate edge.”
Even ABC’s Rachel Scott noted after the debate that “Kamala Harris did not do a good job today explaining her policy.”
