Following the recent presidential debate, RFK Jr. expressed his views on the performances of both candidates, particularly criticizing Trump. He stated that Vice President Harris excelled in her delivery, organization, and preparation, ultimately winning the debate according to public sentiment. Kennedy pointed out that Trump had a significant opportunity to address key issues, such as inflation and rising overdose rates, but failed to do so. Instead, he became distracted and did not effectively communicate his governance achievements. This lack of focus was evident when Trump responded to Harris's jabs about crowd sizes instead of addressing the pressing questions posed during the debate. The media reaction was largely unfavorable towards Trump, with a CNN poll indicating that 63% of viewers favored Harris's performance. Kennedy lamented that Trump had a strong case to make regarding his presidency but was unable to present it effectively to the American public. The overall impression from commentators, including Cavuto, was that Trump decisively lost the debate, which has raised concerns about his campaign's direction moving forward.
