A debate took place in the United States between presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
The analysis, presented by Resurgam, evaluates the performance of the candidates, focusing on the key issues they discussed: domestic and foreign policy, the economy and American issues.
Trump focused on security and border issues, while Harris focused on social issues such as women’s rights and political unification of the country. The debate moderator played an important role by actively checking facts and asking questions, which made the debate even more intense.
Key points:
Both candidates presented themselves without solid conceptual ideas. Donald Trump repeated his key talking points on the border and the economy, while Kamala Harris focused on abortion issues and the need to unite the country politically. However, neither of them presented more detailed positions on many issues.
Foreign policy remained a weak link for both candidates.Trump has largely avoided specific answers to questions about Ukraine, preferring to shift the conversation to Israel and border security issues. Kamala Harris, for her part, demonstrated a superficial grasp of foreign policy issues and was unable to provide clear, detailed answers.
The debate moderator was the de facto winner. Both candidates frequently strayed from the talking points, with the fact-checking host managing to not only stand out, but also outshine the politicians themselves. Trump even spent a significant amount of time criticizing the host for trying to get specific answers.
Conclusions for the electorateHarris tried to adopt more centrist positions, while Trump continued to appeal to his supporters. Both candidates failed to attract undecided voters and continued to speak “to their audience.” As a result, Harris seemed more coherent and structured in the context of Trump’s chaotic speeches.
Conclusion. These debates are unlikely to significantly affect the candidates’ ratings. However, future debates between vice presidential candidates Volz and Vance could carry more weight, especially given the gap in their preparation and specific details.
