Harris trolls Trump by posting most of debate as 'new ad'
Vice President Harris’s campaign posted most of Tuesday’s debate on the social platform X, referring to it as a new ad.
“Our newest ad just dropped,” the campaign captioned its Wednesday video post.
After Harris’s closing statement in the debate hosted by ABC News, the video is cut off to omit Trump’s closing statement, and a photo of the vice president pops up featuring a voiceover in which she says “I approve this message.”
Harris was seen by many as having a good debate Tuesday night, a reversal of fortunes for Democrats compared to President Biden’s negatively-received performance in June. Sixty-three percent of registered voters in a CNN flash poll said the vice president performed better on the debate stage, while about 37 percent said the same about Trump.
CNN anchor Chris Wallace referred to the debate as “devastating” for Trump.
“I didn’t ever think I was ever going to witness a debate as devastating as the one that you and Dana [Bash] moderated back in June, where Joe Biden basically tanked his reelection campaign,” Wallace told CNN’s Jake Tapper. "I think tonight was just as devastating."
“I think that Kamala Harris pitched a shutout on almost every subject I can think of. She shut Trump down on abortion. She shut Trump down on Jan. 6 and democracy. She shut him down on national security,” he added. “And turned to the former president and said, the military leaders who served with you think that you’re a disgrace.”
However, some Republicans maintain the former president won the debate. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), said Wednesday that Trump “clearly prevailed” versus Harris.
“Well, I will tell you what, President Donald Trump is the reigning presidential debate champion, and even though the contest was three to one last night, he clearly prevailed,” Johnson said on FOX Business Network, implying that debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis ganged up against Trump.
