Opinion: Kamala Harris Won Debate by a Knockout—but Her Fight Is Far From Over
If Tuesday night’s presidential debate were a boxing match it might have been stopped by the referees in its very first moments when Kamala Harris entered the stage and had to practically chase the flummoxed Donald Trump into a corner to simply shake his hand.
Or perhaps it should’ve been stopped when, very early on, Trump went from looking tired and unhappy to being certifiably deranged railing about the threat posed by marauding immigrants who had apparently come to America to eat our pets.
Perhaps it would have been the moment that Harris deftly raised the fact that Trump’s rallies were poorly attended and that his supporters typically started to stream out of them before they were true. Or perhaps it was her absolutely smashing, exceptionally eloquent points about women’s reproductive rights, about Trump’s long history of racism, or about Jan. 6.
