From the very beginning the debate revolved around those issues, There is a deep division among American voters on these issues. Harris presented herself as a progressive candidate. Trump told his supporters that he did not win, Then America’s future will be in danger.
Opinions are divided about who won the debate between the two major US presidential candidates. If we look at the liberal media, there is no doubt that Kamala Harris came out on top. But the opposite reaction has been seen in the conservative camp. Both candidates raised those issues for the debate on which they have pinned their hopes on polarizing voters. For example, Harris emphasized on the right to abortion, while Trump mentioned the alleged dangers posed to the American people by illegal immigrants.
Fact checkers proved many of Trump’s claims wrong, but this led to the opposite reaction in the conservative camp. There was a complaint that fact checkers were biased towards Harris. They did not expose her alleged false claims immediately. This is the biggest problem in a polarized political environment. There the reaction to every issue is divided. Therefore, it is difficult to say to what extent Trump was successful in strengthening the polarization of his supporters with his claims and aggressive style.
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump had never met before this debate. So before the debate began, Harris went to Trump and extended her hand to shake. According to analysts, with this move, Harris gained an edge in the debate, because during the election campaign, Trump had been making sharp and bitter comments about her color, race and gender. From the very beginning, the debate turned to those issues on which there is a deep division among American voters.
Harris presented herself as a progressive candidate who looks forward to the future during the debate. Trump raised his slogan of Make America Great Again and told his supporters that if he did not win, America’s future as a superpower would be in danger. Overall, both candidates played to their strengths. What effect this had will be known only on November 5.
