A CNN poll shows 63% of debate watchers believed Kamala Harris won the debate, solidifying her lead over Donald Trump
Harris kept Trump on the defensive, challenging him on key issues like abortion, health care, and the January 6 Capitol attack
Trump faced multiple fact-checks, including false claims about undocumented immigrants killing pets and the Affordable Care Act
Harris leveraged her experience as a prosecutor to effectively needle Trump and counter his intimidation tactics
While Harris showed strength, her positions on foreign policy, including Ukraine and Israel-Palestine, left some ambiguity
Harris’ debate performance will likely boost her numbers, shifting the focus to Trump’s age and fitness for office
