President Trump Won Last Night’s Debate – And He Will Win For America When He Returns To The White House

PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS THE CLEAR WINNER OF LAST NIGHT’S DEBATE

• Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA): “Tonight once again proved why America desperately needs President Donald Trump back in the White House. He will again deliver a secure border, the best economy in history, and peace through strength.”
• Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY): “Kamala is so bad, the two moderators are helping her and Trump is still winning with 3 v. 1”
• Elise Stefanik (R-NY): “President Trump won overwhelmingly and will win again on Election Day.”
• Tom Cotton (R-AR): “President Trump asked exactly the right question in his closing: why hasn’t Harris done any of the things she has said she would do in the past 3 and a half years she’s been in power?”
• Lindsey Graham (R-SC): “The best closing in presidential debate history.”
• Michael Whatley, RNC Chairman: “Another debate win for President Trump. Even in a 3 on 1 matchup, he boldly laid out his plans to restore our border, rebuild our economy, and regain our standing in the world. Kamala Harris didn’t give a single real answer.”
• Renice Priebus, Fmr. RNC Chairman: “I do think that the president, President Trump anyway, closed very well… I thought that was a strong ending.”
• Miranda Devine, New York Post: “Trump just landed a zinger: Kamala Harris’ polices are ‘Run Spot Run’.”
• Jesse Watters, Fox News: “All the memorable lines were from Donald Trump.”
• Clay Travis, OutKick: “Strong moment from Trump to ask Kamala if she supports abortion in months 7, 8, and 9. But immediately ABC bailed before she had to answer.”
• Vivek Ramaswamy: “The most important point of the debate was Trump stating with crystal clarity to voters that he’s *against a federal ban* on abortion & he’s a champion for IVF. Democrats have tried to confuse voters on both with outright lies & he nailed both points tonight.”
• Pennsylvania Voter: “Donald Trump made a strong closing statement by saying ‘Why didn’t they do all the things she’s proposing during the 3.5 years that they’ve been in office?’”
• Pennsylvania Voter: “We’ve had both of the candidates in office before and we got to see what they would do and when facts come to facts my life was better when Trump was in office.”

KAMALA HARRIS WAS THE CLEAR LOSER OF LAST NIGHT’S DEBATE

• John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist: “So Harris just isn't going to answer simple, direct questions tonight, like why did all her positions change? and the ridiculous ABC moderators are going to let her get away with it.”
• Rachel Scott, ABC News: “Kamala Harris did not do a great job today really explaining her policy shifts.”
• Laura Ingraham, Fox News: “If she's asking for another debate, they don't think she won this debate hands down. They would be saying, ‘mic drop, we're done.’”
• Sean Hannity, Fox News: “We still don't have answers where she stands on defunding the police, electric vehicle mandates, mandatory gun confiscation which she lied about, the $93T Green New Deal which she co-sponsored in the US Senate, banning plastic straws, reducing red meat consumption, up to a 70 or 80% tax rate, offshore drilling, fracking, decriminalizing illegal immigration, free housing, healthcare education, and now sex change for surgery providing for taxpayers..."
• Karol Markowicz, New York Post: “The moderator is doing a better job debating on Kamala’s behalf than Kamala.”
• Daniel Baldwin, OANN: “Kamala was asked if the American people were better off today than they were four years ago. It’s a yes or no question. She dodged it. That tells you everything.”
• Megyn Kelly, The Megyn Kelly Show: “Her head shaking & facial grimacing looks emotional and not like a leader.”
• Ryan Saavedra, Daily Wire: “Kamala Harris' overexaggerated facial expressions during this debate are pathetic. They convey a sense of dishonesty and nervousness.”
• Greg Abbott (R-TX): “Tonight, Kamala Harris proved that now more than ever, we need to elect President Donald Trump.”
• Richard Grenell, Fmr. Acting Director of National Intelligence: “She lost.”
• Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA: “You don’t get done with a debate and instantly request another unless you know you didn't get what you needed. They see their internals and know they didn’t get a kill shot. This is not how a winning campaign acts. It’s how a losing campaign acts if they want people to think they’re winning”

AMERICANS SAW A THREE-ON-ONE DEBATE

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: The American people were failed by the “evident bias of the moderators... As far as I saw, they didn't fact-check Kamala a single time."
• New York Post: “Today’s cover: Trump debate performance panned as well-prepped Harris gets help from ABC moderators: ‘3 on 1’”
• Karol Markowicz, New York Post: “I had very low expectations for the moderators and they aren’t clearing that bar at all.”
• Ben Shapiro, Daily Wire: “The moderators are the story of the evening. And it isn’t a good story.”
• Brent Scher, Daily Wire: “Wow. ABC doesn’t make Kamala answer whether she supports third trimester abortions. They haven’t made her answer any question, honestly. Have followed up with Trump several times.”
  • Scher: “Unreal—ABC’s David Muir just said violent crime is down. This is absolute fake news based on bad statistics.”
• Kassy Akiva, Daily Wire: “They keep fact-checking Trump but have not corrected Kamala Harris for saying he is involved with Project 2025.”
• Megyn Kelly, The Megyn Kelly Show: “The absolute gall of ABC to keep ‘fact checking’ ONLY Trump while letting her lie in every answer is infuriating.”
• Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist: “This is the new record for worst debate moderation. It is disgusting in the extreme.”
• Abigail Shrier, Manantan Institute and The Free Press: “The moderators didn't fact check Kamala Harris on Project 2025. The moderators didn't fact check Kamala Harris on IVF. They just fact-checked Trump for the fourth time.”
  • Shrier: “This is the most partisan debate moderation I have seen.”
• Susan Crabtree, RealClearPolitics: “Who lost the debate? @ABC News, which is showing themselves to be completely biased, repeatedly cutting off Trump with a practice lined, "We need to get through a lot," and not fact-checking, imposing time limits equally.”
  • Crabtree: “@ABC News and @DavidMuir needs to fact-check equally. Kamala Harris just lied that she and her husband were at the Capitol on Jan. 6 -- she was at the DNC headquarters, not at the Capitol.
• Dave Portnoy, Barstool Sports: “Shouldn't the moderator cut her off and say answer the question. Is the economy better off or not? Answer it”
• Chris Stirewalt, NewsNation: “Harris definitely got help from the moderators – They were going after Trump much harder than her.”
• Lisa Boothe, Fox News: “Has ABC once interjected to call Kamala out? ABC is such a joke.”
• Joe Concha, Fox News: “Never seen anything like this. ABC is beyond corrupt.”
• Guy Benson, Fox News: “ABC was flagrantly biased. The questions, the topics, the selective follow-ups, the selective fact-checks.”
• Greg Gutfeld, Fox News: “this debate is no longer about trump vs harris; its about moderators obediently picking a side. ABC is a shit show.”
  • Gutfeld: “When Trump debunked muir's factcheck on crime - muir didnt respond. so muir knew he was wrong on the claim  - but did it anyway. it shows his lack of depth and his ambivalent dishonesty - what a smirking drone”
• Carl Higbie, Newsmax: “Kamala just repeated the lie about Charlottesville that has been debunked and moderators totally ignored it after trying to fact check Trump on every answer. Unreal.”
• Ari Fleischer, Fmr. White House Press Secretary: “ABC is making a huge mistake trying to fact check this live. They’re only proving how biased they are. Harris fabricated an attack on Trump over IVF. ABC sat there and said nothing.”
• Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA: “ABC is lying again. Eight states don't have any restrictions on abortion.”
• Dana Loesch, The Dana Show: “Harris refuses to answer if she would back abortions in the 7th, 8th month or up to the moment of birth. The ABC moderators jump in to hurry and save Harris.”
• Dave Rubin, Rubin Report: “They didn’t once ask about the assassination attempt on Trump nor the coup of Biden. They let Kamala lie about everything she said. They fact checked Trump relentlessly. The should be exposed, mocked and ultimately ignored.”
• Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL): “It was a 3-on-1 debate”
• Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD): “After the debate, we still don’t know who Kamala Harris is, what she’d do, or why she hasn’t done it as VP. All she could do is lie about her positions and attack @realDonaldTrump, with the moderators propping her up every step of the way.”
• Meghan McCain: “Hey @ABC - grocery prices are 50% more now than in 2020, inflation is out of control, housing interest rates are through the roof and record number of terrorist are coming across the border. ARE YOU GOING TO ASK ABOUT ANY OF THIS? #Debate2024”
• Glenn Greenwald: “David Muir is criticizing and attacking Trump more than Kamala is. Kamala can relax because the ABC "moderators" are handling the debate for her.”
