Trump Immediately Declares Himself the Winner of Presidential Debate
Assessing his own performance in Tuesday night’s presidential debate, Donald Trump gave himself a gold star.
The former president fired off a series of self-congratulatory Truth Social posts in the minutes after the debate, which ran about 15 minutes over its expected 90-minute runtime, beginning with: “People are saying BIG WIN tonight!”
Most pundits weighing in on the major networks in the debate’s aftermath, including ABC and MSNBC, agreed that Vice President Kamala Harris had decisively won the night. CNN’s Chris Wallace, a former Fox News broadcaster, said, “I think Kamala Harris pitched a shut-out on almost every subject I can think of.”
