A few days ago, Trump and Harris had their first debate as new opponents. Although Trump himself still insisted that he won the debate with Harris, we are not blind and can still see who performed better or worse. The subsequent poll results also confirmed this.
According to CNN poll data, 63% of people think that Harris performed better, while only 37% think that Trump performed better. In the previous debate between Trump and Biden, about 67% of people thought that Trump performed better, while only 33% thought that Biden performed better. In just three months, the situation facing Trump has become so bad. Moreover, after the debate, Trump thought about it for a few days and actually posted on the Internet that he would not debate with Harris again before the election. Since he said that he won the debate with Harris, why didn't he continue the debate? Obviously, Trump is guilty. His poll approval rating has dropped, and he is still guilty. Is Trump really hanging in this election? However, in the eyes of Harris and others, I am afraid that this is the case. On the American Internet, there are generally voices that look down on Trump. To use a popular saying, it's just a matter of opening champagne to celebrate.
However, at this critical moment, Harris received two pieces of bad news about Biden and his running mate Waltz. First, according to the U.S. Capitol Hill newspaper, on the 11th local time, Biden wore a red hat with the words "Trump 2024" printed on it when he attended a 9/11 memorial event held at a fire station in Pennsylvania. This kind of hat is usually worn by die-hard fans of Trump.
Trump's team quickly seized the opportunity and posted a series of messages "thanking Biden for his support". The topic quickly became a hot search, and related videos also spread wildly on the US Internet.
Second, China Times reported on the 12th that just a few days before the debate, Harris' running mate Waltz wore Trump-supporting T-shirts in front of a group of relatives in his hometown, publicly expressing his hope that Trump would win the election. Moreover, Waltz's brother also strongly supported Trump and even wanted to go on stage to help with the campaign. Previously, he said in an interview that he was very dissatisfied with Waltz becoming Harris' running mate and completely opposed his position.
Biden and Waltz are both important forces supporting Harris' campaign. At this critical juncture, two fires suddenly broke out in Harris' "backyard", which is undoubtedly a big blow. From this point of view alone, it is too early to say that Trump is in danger. In fact, the biggest mistake Trump made was that he should not have opened fire on Biden before. He has been preparing for so long, and all his plans are aimed at Biden. Now that Biden has been replaced, all his preparations have come to nothing. What Trump should do most now is to retreat in order to advance. Praising Biden more, on the one hand, implies that the Democratic Party is wrong to change people; on the other hand, alienate the supporters of the Democratic Party. Wait until the last half month before the election, and then play all the cards. In this way, perhaps you can establish a victory in one fell swoop.
