The Spin

In a brilliant fashion, Kamala Harris exposed Trump's worst qualities while also offering the country a bright future under her leadership. She articulated clear policy proposals on issues like housing and immigration, and skilfully balanced compassion with pragmatism on sensitive topics like abortion and foreign policy. Now that Americans have gotten to see the real Kamala Harris, there's no question who represents statesmanship and who promotes anger and chaos.

ABC News was clearly prepared to attack Trump and defend Harris at all costs. While they interrupted Trump over and several times, they blatantly refused to do so with Harris—even for the most notoriously debunked lies, such as the "fine people on both sides" and "blood bath" comments. Despite that, Trump maintained a dominant presence, particularly on issue of ending global wars. As Trump stood for Americans first, Harris touted her endorsement from Goldman Sachs.
