00:00The first television debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris turned out to be a
00:08no contest.
00:09It was very clear from the beginning that Kamala Harris was in control of the narrative.
00:13She was completely unflustered, firm, smiling and laughing her way through the entire 90
00:20minute debate with the former president.
00:22Mr. Trump, on the other hand, sounded very defensive.
00:25He was visibly agitated and angry at several points and ended up reminding people about
00:30his dubious roles in the past, such as the Capitol Hill riots of January 6th, his views
00:36on women's reproductive rights, etc., which all have him on the back foot.
00:41Now, Kamala Harris did a smart thing because she kept baiting him, as you could see throughout
00:45the debate, on issues that really punctured Trump's ego, such as the sizes of the crowds
00:50at his rallies, something that he's quite obsessed with.
00:54But ultimately, how will this debate impact the way people will vote?
00:58That really is the big question.
01:00Now, even though a CNN poll found that a majority of those who tuned in found that Harris did
01:05much better than Trump, there are still more than 80 percent of registered voters who have
01:11told CNN that the debate does not really change their choice of who they will vote for in
01:17the November election.
01:19And it's a very tight race because just ahead of this television debate, a New York Times
01:23poll showed that there was just a one-point difference between the two candidates, with
01:28Trump narrowly in the lead.
01:30The kind of high that Kamala Harris had after Biden stepped down and in the run-up to the
01:35Democratic National Convention in late August, that high isn't there for her the way that
01:40it used to be.
01:41Will this debate change that in the long run is the big question, especially now that she
01:47has an endorsement from none other than Taylor Swift.
