That's a wrap on the first 2024 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After the Harris campaign proposed a second debate late Tuesday night, Fox News officially proposed to be the host network. Each campaign still has to accept the invitation.

When he's not getting into it with Frank Luntz, DNC chairman Jaime Harrison puts out his statement...
“Tonight, the nation saw a clear choice before them: a Vice President with a clear plan to invest in the hopes, aspirations, and ambitions of the American people or a twice-impeached convicted felon intent on dragging our country backward. While Vice President Kamala Harris spoke of progress and building a brighter future, Trump’s extreme Project 2025 agenda will put his billionaire buddies first and leave working families behind. Vice President Harris’ agenda is people-powered: her plans will lower costs, defend reproductive freedoms, and invest in an opportunity economy where everyone has a chance to get ahead. Meanwhile, Trump may claim he only has ‘concepts of a plan,’ but his Project 2025 agenda will continue to divide us, impose extreme and unpopular policies like banning abortion nationwide, and send our country backward. But folks, we’re not going back. This November, we will elect Vice President Harris and Governor Walz and propel our nation forward.”
Man… take a seat somewhere.

Fox News proposes being the one to host the second debate.
If CNN's pro-masturbator says the debate was a success, it must be true, right?
Excellent job by the @abcnews moderators

Taylor Swift just posted a photo with her cat and endorsed Harris. In case anyone cares.
Indeed! The Onion has gone shamefully and despicably downhill...
Absolutely evil.

TRUMP: “People don’t leave my rallies.”
TRUE: They’re carried out in body bags.
FWIW it came after she was bullied into doing so... it doesn't surprise me that she endorsed Harris, but still...

Team Harris has apparently offered a second debate.
"Complaints Rise Over Debate Moderation" is indeed a trending topic!
#moderators is trending on X-- people aren't buying the clown show put on by ABC.
The DNC is now claiming victory with this INBOX message:
Hi all – Tonight, Vice President Kamala Harris decisively won the debate against Donald Trump. She offered a choice between Donald Trump’s lies and a clear vision for a new way forward – one that protects our fundamental freedom, like access to reproductive care, and ensures every person has the opportunity not to just get by, but to get ahead. She stood up to Donald Trump and held him accountable for his dangerous Project 2025 agenda that would roll back Americans’ rights and freedoms, hurt the middle class, and threaten our democracy.
To celebrate the clear winner of this debate and the only candidate with a winning message to protect the rights of Americans, defend our democracy, and lower costs – the DNC is rolling out new billboards and LiteBrites in Philadelphia to celebrate Vice President Harris prosecuting the case against Donald Trump and presenting a hopeful vision on behalf of the American people.
DNC Spokesperson Addy Toevs released the following statement:
“Tonight was a clear contrast – Donald Trump’s rambling and lies versus Vice President Harris’ positive vision for the future. Let’s be clear: Vice President Harris held Donald Trump accountable for his lies and his dangerous Project 2025 plans, and she unequivocally won this debate. She shared her vision for our country and offered the American people the choice to turn the page and reject Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda to implement a nationwide abortion ban, hike costs on middle-class families, and grant Trump virtually unchecked power to put himself above our constitution and control our daily lives. In contrast with Trump’s radical positions and outright lies, Vice President Harris laid out a bright vision for America’s future through her plan to protect and restore reproductive rights, lower costs at the grocery store and at the pharmacy, and safeguard our very democracy. After tonight, voters in Pennsylvania and across the country will have no doubt which candidate in this race won tonight’s debate and is fighting for them: Kamala Harris, the next President of the United States.”

The consensus I'm seeing/hearing is that he should have LED with this though!
Trump's closing statement is his best moment by a million miles. He should have been hammering "why haven't you already done it?" the entire time, relentlessly.

NEW - Harris is asking for a second debate

From Jen O’Malley Dillon: “Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?”

Exactly, and yet with how much the so-called 'moderators' helped her in the 3-1 debate, she may not have been hurt by it...
After this debate, voters still won't know Harris or her policies any better than before.
Not shocking... the Trump-Vance campaign *has* signified a willingness before!

Trump drives this point home. We've already got a glimpse of an America under Harris.
Kamala keeps talking about creating an "opportunity economy" but we've already seen what the American economy looks like under her leadership.
Good for Trump pointing out Harris has been vice president for 3.5 years and should be doing such things NOW rather than wait to get promoted as president.
"Why didn't she do it?! We're a failing nation!"
Kamala wouldn't know how to rebuild the military. She barely could get through a geography lesson about Ukraine, which she so eloquently reminded us "is a country in Europe."
Kamala keeps talking about creating an "opportunity economy" but we've already seen what the American economy looks like under her leadership.
We know Kamala Harris is talking about abortion, the so-called "right" to kill one's own unborn child when it comes to letting a woman do what she wants with her own body without government interference, but this is clearly NOT the case with vaccines...
Kamala touts her record as a prosecutor ... and she sure liked locking black people up on pot charges
"We're not going back..."
There Harris goes again with that line!
