Debate Recap: Harris Wins the Battle, But Trump Stays the Course
If you tuned into the Trump vs. Harris debate, you'd probably be surprised to hear that Kamala Harris actually had a decent showing. Even as a staunch Trump supporter, I’m willing to admit it: she was poised, and her fact-checkers were primed to catch Trump on a couple of technicalities. But what we need to remember is that debates are like performances — polished, rehearsed, and made for optics. They aren’t necessarily a reflection of true leadership. And when it comes to leadership, that’s where Trump still stands head and shoulders above Harris.
Harris’s Debate Win: A Momentary Glimpse of Competence
Let’s give credit where credit’s due. Harris had been doing so poorly in the public eye that she had nowhere to go but up. And sure, for 90 minutes, she managed to avoid the usual word salads and awkward laughs that have defined her time as vice president. But a debate win doesn’t translate to running a country, does it?
Her debate performance might have impressed some, but here’s the thing: no amount of polished talking points or fact-checking is going to fix a tanking economy, rising crime rates, or a broken border. It doesn’t change her record, her positions, or her past missteps. Harris winning a debate is like a goalie making a save after letting in 10 goals. It’s something to point to, sure, but it doesn’t erase the bigger picture.
Trump: The Leadership America Needs
Trump isn’t just a debater — he’s a fighter. And fighters aren’t always pretty in the ring, but they know how to win. Sure, there were moments where he could have been sharper, more precise. When the moderators tried to fact-check him, he could’ve hit back harder with the actual facts, like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s removal of a law protecting babies born alive after failed abortions. But let’s not pretend that Harris was subject to the same level of scrutiny. The deck was stacked, as always, but that’s par for the course for Trump. He’s been taking hits from biased media for years, and yet, he still stands. That resilience, that unshakable ability to keep moving forward no matter the odds, is exactly what this country needs.
Trump's leadership isn’t about delivering polished lines or playing it safe — it's about standing up for the people, even when the media and fact-checkers try to distort the truth. While Harris spent the night hitting talking points, Trump has been hitting back against the swamp for four years. He knows the issues facing the American people, and he knows how to fix them.
The Harris Record Speaks Louder Than One Debate
Even if Harris had her best night yet, it doesn't erase her dismal record as vice president. We’re still talking about a VP who cackled through serious questions, bungled border policy, and flip-flopped on key issues depending on which way the political winds were blowing. Sure, she held it together for 90 minutes, but is that really enough to erase four years of confusion, incompetence, and mismanagement? Not a chance.
And let's not forget her running mate, Tim Walz, whose extreme pro-abortion policies include signing a bill that removed the requirement to save babies born alive after failed abortions. Here's a real fact check (Walz Abortion Bill). It’s one thing to perform well on stage, but it’s another to sign off on laws that endanger the most vulnerable. Harris might have won the debate, but the policies she supports are indefensible.
Conclusion: A Bad Night Doesn't Change a Good Future
It’s okay to admit that Trump didn’t have his best night. But that’s not what’s going to matter when Americans head to the polls. We’ve seen polished debaters crash and burn when it comes to leading the nation — just ask Mitt Romney. What people care about is strength, resilience, and a leader who will fight for their values and their future.
Harris can have her debate win. But when it comes to protecting our country, our economy, and our children, Trump is the only choice for president. We’re not electing a debater; we’re electing a leader. And that’s why, despite a tough debate, Trump is still the best candidate to lead this country into a stronger, safer, and more prosperous future.
