Pundits handed Kamala the win — but “undecided” voters aren’t convinced…
According to a Reuters report, a small group of “undecided” voters broke 2-to-1 for Donald Trump following Tuesday night’s presidential debate. Harris’ strategy — keeping Trump on defense — didn’t resonate with all voters.
Harris also did a poor job explaining her policy positions, some debate watchers shared.
From Reuters:
Reuters interviewed 10 people who were still unsure how they were going to vote in the Nov. 5 election before they watched the debate. Six said afterward they would now either vote for Trump or were leaning toward backing him. Three said they would now back Harris and one was still unsure how he would vote.
…
Five said they found Harris vague during the more than 90-minute debate on how she would improve the U.S. economy and deal with the high cost of living, a top concern for voters.
…
Four of those six also said Harris did not convince them she would pursue different economic policies than Democratic President Joe Biden, a Democrat they largely blame for the high cost of living.
Six of the undecided voters were men, four were women.
“I felt like the whole debate was Kamala Harris telling me why not to vote for Donald Trump instead of why she’s the right candidate,” said Robert Wheeler, a security firm executive in Nevada leaning toward Harris before the debate.
“I still don’t know what she is for,” an entrepreneur from Florida, Mark Kadish, said. “There was no real meat and bones for her plans.”
