Republicans Critique Trump's Debate Performance Against Harris
Republican officials and advisers criticized Donald Trump's debate performance against Kamala Harris, despite Trump's own praise for his showing. Many believed Harris had outperformed Trump, who appeared unprepared. Some Republican donors and advisers suggested a second debate to regain momentum might be necessary. The election is set for November 5.
Republican officials and donors expressed dissatisfaction with Donald Trump's debate performance against Kamala Harris, despite Trump's own positive assessment. 'I think it was one of my better debates, maybe my best,' Trump stated on Fox & Friends, though he hinted at reluctance for a second round.
In the debate, Harris aggressively challenged Trump on his fitness for office and legal troubles, with Senator Lindsey Graham labeling the event a 'missed opportunity' for Trump. Chris Christie, once a Trump ally, criticized the former president's preparation.
Although some advisers remain skeptical that the debate will affect polling, the Harris campaign has pushed for another debate. With the election approaching, there are mixed sentiments among Republican donors about whether a second face-off would be beneficial for Trump.
