On this one key policy area, Kamala Harris didn't best Donald Trump in their debate | Opinion

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : On abortion, Trump has been all over the place -- from "the most pro-life president in history" to a supporter of all kinds of exceptions; both an opponent and a supporter of a six-week ban; and, according to his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance, a president who would not support a national abortion ban.
40% : "We've gotten what we wanted," Trump said, referring to the fact that Roe returned abortion policy decisions to the states.
31% : When asked directly about whether or not he would support a national abortion ban, Trump hedged, insisting that such a measure from Congress won't ever come to pass.
26% : To no one's surprise, Trump got derailed by being Trump.
25% : But if she was seeking to scare moderate suburban women into thinking that Trump would make them handmaidens, she failed.
17% : Trump should have instead nailed Harris on her and her party's insistence that abortion be available to women without any restrictions at all, a position about as out of sync with Americans as a total abortion ban.
3% : Harris also insisted that Trump would pass a national abortion ban as part of Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation policy proposal that Trump and his campaign team did not develop and the former president insists he hasn't read.
