The view numbers for the first presidential debate were released on Wednesday, showing a significant rise from the June debate between Trump and Biden.
The Nielsen figures show that 58 million people tuned in for the debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, roughly 6.5 million more than who watched the debate between Biden and Trump, which likely led to the former’s decision to drop from the race. According to Axios, the viewership numbers for Tuesday may rise about 60 million “once Nielsen finishes a more comprehensive tally.”

Vice President Kamala Harris came out of her debate with former President Donald Trump armed with confidence she could win the White House with an aspirational message light on specifics.
In the weeks since she has become the Democratic Party’s nominee, Ms. Harris has talked about joy, vision, and values, but has been bereft of policy ideas. Instead, she has called for a broad range of standard proposals embraced by mainstream Democrats.
She only added policies to her website this week, more than 50 days since President Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her. Ms. Harris’ policy page is vague and dedicates nearly as much space

Very few debates have as crystal-clear a loser as the Trump–Biden debate in June. This wasn’t one of them. The moderators were bad and biased in Harris’s favor, and I suppose you could deploy the old saw that the side complaining about the moderators is who lost, but that’s just standard by now.
Given my metric from this morning — that the winner is whichever candidate the debate isn’t about — this was probably a narrow win for Kamala Harris. She escaped a detailed examination of her record or a detailed elaboration of her plans. She didn’t pratfall trying to explain herself.
But then,

Kamala Harris was widely seen as dominating Tuesday's presidential debate against Republican former president Donald Trump, but a group of undecided voters remained unconvinced that the Democratic vice president was the better candidate.
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.
Harris and Trump are in a tight race and the election will likely be decided by just

Leading politicians on both sides of the aisle stood together in New York City on Wednesday to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were joined by former President Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg were also in attendance.
Video of the ceremony shows Bloomberg getting Harris’ attention and appearing to tell her that Trump had arrived before the two opponents shook hands for the second time in the past 12 hours.

A CNN poll taken after the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris found that the percentage of voters who trust Trump more on the economy rose from +16% to +20%.
CNN’s Jake Tapper introduced the poll by saying to CNN political director David Chalian, “The first results of our instant poll of debate-watchers have just come in and David Chalian is going to join us now to break it all down. David, tell us more.”
“Yeah, Jake, and as you noted, this is a poll of debate watchers,” Chalian pointed out. “This is not a poll that represents the overall population,

A CNN flash poll conducted on Tuesday showed that Vice President Kamala Harris beat former President Donald Trump in the first presidential debate, 63 to 37 percent.
Going into the debate on Tuesday night, the 605 registered U.S. voters polled by CNN said they were split 50/50 on who would perform well. Following the debate, 63 percent said Harris won while the former president stood at 37 percent. Per CNN:
The poll’s results reflect opinions of the debate only among those voters who tuned in, and aren’t representative of the views of the full voting public.

The media is all in this morning declaring Kamala Harris the winner of Tuesday night's presidential debate, as we predicted they would.
Former President Donald Trump had to deal not only with Harris but bad moderators with questions that seemed designed to help her while not fact-checking her on any of the lies that she told throughout the night. There were areas he could have hit more, but he also was having to deal with all the hoaxes, and the moderators didn't call her out for anything. That's disgraceful. Megyn Kelly and many others on the right called out the bias. Even Democratic strategist Doug Schoen criticized the bias.

The ABC debate went as I predicted it would — that whatever Kamala Harris did, the media would declare her the winner. And they're already on it this morning.
Yet, Harris lied her head off the entire night, didn't answer the questions, and the moderators didn't fact-check her on her lies, not even her "fine people" lie, which, at this point, everyone on earth knows that's a lie except Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. Well, they know, but they keep saying it.
The ABC moderators were awful, clearly providing her cover, fact-checking former President Donald Trump but not fact-checking Harris.

Will everyone please take a chill pill!
I’m currently sailing blissfully among the fjords of Norway, chilling with lots of Akvavit and looking for Michael Palin’s famed “Norwegian blue” parrot, and thus because the debate last night took place at 3 am local time, I didn’t take it in. I wasn’t surprised to see accounts that Trump performed poorly, that the moderators were biased, that Kamala was effective enough to meet diminished expectations. I don’t however

President Trump came out the clear winner in the presidential debate, presenting the case for his re-election, laying out the Harris-Biden failures, and confidently going on Fox News to comment on his performance afterwards, as the Kamala Harris camp threw out the possibility of a second debate, in October. Candidates who are losing are the ones who like do-overs.
The moderators -- ABC's David Muir, and Linsey whatshername stunk, with unusual bias seen in both, fact-checking Trump while giving Kamala a pass on obvious and tired whoppers, pushing the abortion-as-health-care narrative, they were vile, and shouldn't be allowed to ever moderate again.

After Tuesday's debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, news swiftly spread that international superstar Taylor Swift had posted her endorsement of Harris to Instagram.
Swift had largely stayed out of endorsing anyone, though it was no mystery that she is a Democrat loyalist. The question wasn't "why hadn't she endorsed Harris," it was "why hadn't she endorsed Harris yet." Now we have that answer, and it tells us a lot about where the Democrat Party's head is at.
As I posted to X, there are two things that need to be realized, and one of them isn't a good sign for Harris.
