“I wasn’t happy with Biden, Trump. I didn’t feel that we have any good choices and I am still not sure we do. We might. But I still wanted to see more about Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris won, as far as I'm concerned. She was direct. She was concise. She had more talk, talking points ready. Trump really didn't. And she got under his skin, and she knew how to do it. And it worked. I didn't like that she didn't answer direct questions about her policies and direct questions about what happened in the last three and a half years, that she should have been part of, that she talked around it, and I want a more direct answer.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Bob Chuba, voter from Bucks County:
“I watched the debate last night and Kamala really trashed Trump good. I did vote for Trump two times, but I’ve switched my allegiance. I just tired of the routine and looking for something new.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Kelli Surline, voter from Bucks County:
“She, she's been in office this whole time with Biden so she could have done something for this whole entire four years or however long, like she could do something now, too. So, she's not doing anything. So, it just doesn't really make sense to me as to why, if she really wanted to help the country out, like why it would, she has the ability to do that right now, she's in office.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Terry Culleton, voter from Bucks County:
“The one I am kept thinking about is the business of people eating other people's pets, which strikes me as so moronic a thing to say and to repeat that I just can't get it out of my head - that somebody would go on national TV and state that. On the other hand, I was really happy with Harris’ various policy plans, especially the idea of building from the middle class out, building the economy from the middle class out.”

Voters in Bucks County, Pennsylvania gave their reactions after former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris debated Tuesday night.

Mary Nolan of Bensalem, walked to the Delaware River wharf in Bristol to meet up with her friends at lunchtime. She said She hasn't decided who to vote for this year and thought that Harris had a good debate, but she dodged some things.

Bob Chuba from Levittown voted for Trump in the last two elections but said he won’t this time and also thought that Harris did well during the debate.

Kelli Surline of Langhorne described herself as politically unengaged until recently as she's felt the pinch of higher prices. She didn't watch the debate in part because she's made up her mind.

Damn this country needs a massive civics lesson. Holy shnit there's some real stupidity out there. On full display....

[robertwashington]

People need to understand How the Gov’t works the Vice president doesn’t decide policy. There job is to push the president’s agenda whatever that is. No matter what they would do differently you can’t back door your boss!

[sylviayoung]

Not sure that big girl really knows what she is saying

[vz-gvcr]

This short video proves that some people have brains. Some are totally clueless about how a government actually works. 😂😂😂

[jeaneelrf]

💙❤ and god bless all great America 💙💎🇺🇲 for ever 💟❤💙

[gandydancer]

Kelli Surline, you do know that any vice president acts on the discretion of the president not on their own agenda. POTUS is their boss.

[robertgainey]

I noticed that the people that were interviewed were two white women two white guys the women needed more info and the guys heard the same debate and were satisfied, my opinion is that the women were playing.. I’m just saying

[DD-hynl]

Stupid people, we wonder why we are in this mess...

[bobwhite]

Yeah she doesn't answer any questions at all.

[Mszman]

Someone please inform that lady who says Kamala won, and tell her to look up whistleblower for abc that came forward with a signed affidavit showing several conditions her campaign had abc agree to before she agreed to the debate…one was the moderators we’re not to ask her about her time as attorney general, not to ask about her brother n law cause he’s accused of embezzleing millions and may be appointed to her administration if elected and many more conditions besides sample questions!

[RamonaPereira-yguc]

The woman said she had good talking points but she didn’t really answer policy questions. Which is it. These people are misguided.

Girl wearing shades child Is this our youth these days??😮. If you can't see the difference between the both runners . You need to get a head exam check for HOLES.. 😮

[beaboerner]

She doesn't answer any questions!! Wake up!!

[johnettebennett]

Lady, when you have the questions ahead of time you can memorize canned answers. Try and get a direct answer from Harris.

[Dracozoid]

I think there is a misconception about how much the VP can do while in office. Her role is to support the president and his current policies. The VP is NOT in charge of dictating policy. Can you name me any policies proposed by past Vice Presidents? Biden policies while not perfect have helped prevent a massive recession, shored up our infrastructure, and have made us less energy reliant on foreign countries

[MM-sfrl]

“She could have done something” — are you kidding. 16, 000, 000 jobs, 40, 000 infrastructure projects, Chip manufacturing, the fastest growing economy in the world, inflation nearing 2.5%, mortgage interest rates dropping, etc.

❤STOP THE NONSENSE
❤VOTE TRUMP❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[estermolina]

Bc she cheated big time, equipped of wired earring, and given questions ahead of time

[raymondparkes]

She didn't mention one policy. There are reports coming out of Ohio about disappearing pets and ducks and geese being killed in parks
