He then concluded: “Since I won the debate, I don’t know if I want to do another one,” Trump told Fox News as Kamala Harris proposed a new televised duel in October. If that were to ever happen, Trump said, he “wouldn’t want” Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier as moderators because “they weren’t good last night.”
Immediately after the debate, Trump commented to reporters: “It was my best debate I’ve ever had. The polls are great, with overwhelming results.” Kamala Harris “wants another debate because she was beaten. I don’t know if we’ll have another one,” he commented, after the vice president’s campaign proposed a second debate in October. “The polls are great, beyond that…”. It was an interesting evening, a great evening.
Trump told Fox that Americans, “everyone should be very angry about how badly this country has been handled” by US President Joe Biden and his vice president Kamala Harris. Trump, who will be with Biden and Harris today at the commemorations for the September 11 attacks in New York, said: “I’m not sure” he would say anything to the American president and his vice president.
Musk: “If Kamala Wins We Will Never Reach Mars”
The day after the debate, Elon Musk also intervenes. The success of an American mission to Mars depends on the outcome of the American presidential elections in October, according to Musk. “Trump wants a government commission on efficiency to allow great things to be done, Kamala does not,” the Tesla boss wrote on X after the TV duel between the two contenders, adding: “We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins.”
Pastori (Ispi): «Kamala Harris won on points»
If the TV duel between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris “were a boxing match, I would say that Kamala Harris won on points,” but “it wasn’t a landslide victory.” This was what Gianluca Pastori, an ISPI researcher in the area of transatlantic relations and professor of History of political relations between North America and Europe at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, told LaPresse, commenting on the first debate between Trump and Harris in view of the US presidential elections in November.
