The Spin

Harris brilliantly exposed Trump's worst and most dangerous qualities while also offering the country a bright future under her leadership. She articulated clear policy proposals and skilfully balanced compassion with pragmatism on sensitive topics, including abortion and foreign policy. There's no question Harris represents a better way forward for the US.

Trump was at a disadvantage the whole night because ABC decided to team up with Harris — interrupting and fact -checking the former president while letting the vice president get away with blatantprovably liesfalse rhetoric. Somehow Trump overcame the obstacles and dominated the debate, especiallymaking whenmajor itpoints cameon toimmigration, the goaleconomy, ofand ending globalendless wars.
