Trump's debate defeat threatens down-ballot Republicans as Harris pursues persuadables

Despite Kamala Harris' dominating debate performance, the actual number of voters who aren't already locked into a presidential preference is quite small. But while Trump may retain his die hard following, Harris may have an opportunity to attract votes from centrists and disaffected Republicans as her momentum continues to build. Tim Alberta, staff writer for the Atlantic, and George Conway, board president of the Society for the Rule of Law, discuss with Alex Wagner.

Aren't you the same people who insisted Hilary won the debates back in 2016?

[alexfish]

Actuallly independents aren't falling for propaganda anymore ...

[turnuiu]

Sorry but at this point “undecided” is code for “I know who I’m voting for but am not going to say it out loud.” Complete BS.

[Saldrom]

these are the people that think you can manifest BS into existence

[mriphone]

Independents aren't falling for this garbage.

Moderators to Trump: Why are you bad?

Moderators to Kamala: Why is Trump bad?

[dag]

Simply put up Trumps accomplishments against Biden/Kamala. There is no comparison.

[deadcenterarts]

😂😂😂 There was no debate defeat.. it was a 3 on 1 debate... Remember in 2016 debates where Donna Brazile from CNN gave Hillary the debate questions ahead of the debate?. Corrupt partisan moderating ... The moderation by ABC was a disgusting psyop against the American people.

poll of this comments section proves your headline is false. fact check complete.

[joebiggs]

I’m shocked they left the comments open on this

[jessicabablitz]

The worst thing media outlets did to themselves is think we care about the news anchors opinion.

[jameslivingston]

His defeat? You guys will just print anything. Its astounding. You aren't going to say anything about how biased it was? Or her lies? This is disgusting

[thomask]

[WnkThSan]

I know the media gets a ton of hate, but I don't think it's enough hate.

[siddalida]

This media personnel are an embarrassment

[stvnhthr]

Come on MSNBC, you are not even trying to make quality propaganda anymore.

[SlowSpyder]

This right here is what propaganda looks like.

[MileHiH]

Look at the title. How can someone say Kamala won and she immediately started tap dancing on the very first question? Smh

[bobbykovach]

Gaslighting has reached an all time high/low

[shabirsabri]

25 people in NY made decision who won debate is BS. 25 people do not represent 400 million.
