Staff Reports
The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris served as a striking reminder that even the most arranged media narratives can’t mask political shortcomings. Despite the inevitable predictions from left-leaning outlets that declared her a winner, there were clear indicators that Harris was feeling the heat, as evidenced by her team’s push for another round of debates. This desperate plea is an admission of defeat, and it begs the question: if she truly believed she triumphed, why the continual desire to step back into the spotlight?
Former President Donald Trump faced off not just against a political rival but against a cadre of biased moderators intent on spinning the narrative in favor of Harris. The well-known media biases played out before the nation, and yet, Trump managed to deliver one of the night’s biggest laughs when he countered Harris’s own catchphrase, effectively turning the tables on her. In that moment, the perception of her as a serious contender waned, as her childish expressions and awkward demeanor painted a portrait of a candidate under pressure.
The turning point of the debate, and maybe the 2024 campaign right here.

He was doing good. He was unable to recover from that. He lost it.

Throughout the debate, Harris’s tendency toward evasion and misstatements became glaringly obvious. While she tried to cloak her responses in rhetorical flourishes, observers noted that substance was notably lacking. The more she dodged questions, the clearer it became that her campaign lacks a coherent message to rally voters. Her inability to engage substantively will likely resonate unfavorably with discerning Americans.
Laura Ingraham astutely highlighted the significance of Harris’s call for another debate. Such a request indicates a recognition of her own shortcomings; if she were truly confident in her performance, one would expect her to declare victory and close the book. Instead, her insistence on a rematch suggests her campaign is wrestling with internal doubts, potentially realizing that the political tide is shifting—not in her favor, but toward Trump, whose policies resonate more strongly with the electorate.
The fallout from this debate could weigh heavily on Harris and her team as they gauge public sentiment through internal polling and focus groups. They cannot hide from the facts: Trump’s appeal continues to gain traction, while Harris appears increasingly unprepared to mount an effective defense. With the landscape rapidly evolving, the implications of this debate may well alter the trajectory of the 2024 election—reaffirming that while the left may control many narratives, they cannot outrun the truth.
