While Harris is seeking to harness momentum from a strong debate performance and bank support from early voters, Trump is trying to regain his footing after an unsteady showing.
US Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump have traded jabs over their first presidential debate in their return to the campaign trail as the candidates visited two crucial swing states in the November election.
“Because we’ve done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate,” Trump said citing his forums with President Joe Biden and then Harris. Biden’s disastrous performance against Trump led him to his exit from the Democratic ticket and to Harris replacing him. “The two anchors, David Muir and Linsey Davis, sat there and only corrected me on things where I was right but didn’t correct Kamala,” Trump said. “The public was not fooled. They saw right through it. Kamala’s lies, an unprecedented partisan interference of two lowlife anchors, they’re lowlifes, for them to do what they did,” he added.
While his allies insist the debate is unlikely to be a make-or-break moment as was his exchange with Biden in June, which effectively ended the president’s half-century political career, the pressure is back on Republicans to blunt Harris’ momentum.Harris, by contrast, intends to capitalise on her showing, looking to solidify support among swing-state voters, who are considering her candidacy anew after her promising debate performance.
Former president Barack Obama will also appear at a major fundraiser for Harris in Los Angeles on September 20, according to a person familiar with the schedule, which will help bolster her campaign coffers and fund get-out-the-vote efforts.
