As reported, Vice President Kamala Harris has challenged her Republican rival for the presidency to a second televised duel. But Donald Trump is not yet willing to commit. He sees himself as the winner of Wednesday’s debate, saying: “If you won, you don’t necessarily have to fight again.”
In Philadelphia (US state of Pennsylvania) the two candidates were involved in a heated war of words. Trump allowed himself to be provoked by Harris, sometimes seemed irritated and went on the defensive. Harris attacked Trump head-on and did not let herself be deterred. The performance was a special test for her because she had only participated in the race for the White House a few weeks ago. The duel heralds the hot phase of the presidential election, with elections taking place on November 5.
Harris is the winner according to several polls
In a snap CNN poll of registered voters, 63 percent of respondents said they saw Harris winning — compared with 37 percent who saw Trump ahead. In a YouGov poll, 54 percent of voters polled said they thought Harris won the televised duel; 31 percent voted for Trump. It’s not at all clear what impact the debate will have on the election, though. So far, Harris and Trump are roughly neck and neck in the polls.
Trump attacks US broadcaster ABC
Trump shared photos of polls in which he emerged victorious via his online mouthpiece Truth Social. However, these were online or broadcaster-based surveys that do not claim to be representative.
It is still unclear whether there will be a second confrontation, because Trump said in response to Harris’ suggestion: “We’ll see what we do.” At the same time, he attacked the American broadcaster ABC, which hosted the channel duel. This is the “most unfair” broadcaster. The duel was “three against one”, complained the Republican, referring to the two moderators. They fact-checked a number of statements of the ex-president live and described them as false.
