Democratic elected officials and political operatives heaped praise on Vice President Kamala Harris for her debate performance against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening.
„America got to see tonight the leader I’ve been proud to work alongside for three and a half years. Wasn’t even close. VP Harris proved she’s the best choice to lead our nation forward. We’re not going back“, President Biden posted on X early Wednesday morning after the debate wrapped up.
„Well, that was a knockout. I’m looking forward to seeing how Republicans try to spin this one“, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer posted to X in another favorable message for Harris.
Trump and Harris took the same debate stage for the first time this election cycle on Tuesday evening in Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center. The pair sparred over the top issues concerning voters, including the economy, immigration and abortion.
Harris‘ Democratic allies in Congress, as well as Democratic pundits, praised Harris for how she „destroyed“ Trump’s career, and that voters bore witness to a „serious leader who will work day in and out“ for the American people.
The Harris campaign also released a statement Tuesday evening, taking a victory lap that „Harris commanded the stage on every single issue that matters to the American people.“
„Under the bright lights, the American people got to see the choice they will face this fall at the ballot box: between moving forward with Kamala Harris, or going backwards with Trump.
