Harris Won the Debate. Now What? - The Media Line

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Second, she had to prove she could stand up to Trump, known for his aggressive tactics against opponents, particularly women.
36% : In contrast, Trump dodged the question, claiming he could end the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza "overnight," even before taking office in January 2025.
32% : Unlike Trump, who has been a fixture in national debates since 2016, Harris had to introduce herself to a broader American audience and meet three critical benchmarks.
21% : She refused to let Trump intimidate her.
17% : Harris' meticulous preparation was evident, successfully provoking Trump into angry outbursts, particularly when she ridiculed the size of his campaign rallies, his role in the January 6 Capitol attack, and his inconsistent claims of the US being a failed state on the brink of World War III.
16% : Absent such events, the Harris campaign will likely continue to leverage debate footage as a strategic propaganda tool, aiming to portray Trump as increasingly old and irritable to the electorate.
10% : On the delicate matter of Israel-Palestine relations, Harris struck a careful balance to avoid alienating either side, while Trump recklessly accused her of "hating Israel" and predicted Israel's demise under her presidency within two years.
9% : Here too, Trump appeared to fall into Harris' well-laid trap.
