Vice President Harris’s campaign posted most of Tuesday’s debate on the social platform X, referring to it as a new ad.

“Our newest ad just dropped,” the campaign captioned its Wednesday video post.

After Harris’s closing statement in the debate hosted by ABC News, the video is cut off to omit Trump’s closing statement, and a photo of the vice president pops up featuring a voiceover in which she says “I approve this message.”

Harris was seen by many as having a good debate Tuesday night, a reversal of fortunes for Democrats compared to President Biden’s negatively-received performance in June. Sixty-three percent of registered voters in a CNN flash poll said the vice president performed better on the debate stage, while about 37 percent said the same about Trump.

    I really wish she got to go after Trump… His ending statement/question was the absolute perfect opportunity to stress the importance of voting for more than just the president!

    “Why haven’t you done all the things you say you want to yet?”

    “People of the US: give me a Senate and House that will work with me and we can!”

    It seemed like a mic drop for him but that’s only because people don’t understand all Republicans exist for is obstruction of democratic plans and to benefit the ownership class. Have a Republican lead House/Senate? You’ll get nothing meaningful.

      I fully agree, but a fully democratically owned house and Senate under Obama was pretty damn disappointing.

            If true, that would be exactly why you would need more than the exact bare minimum number of Democrats for what you want to accomplish, so that one or two can’t make a name for themselves by gumming up the works.

        But it’s the only reason we have the ACA. Which, while only ok, is so much better than not having the ACA.

        Are you a person who doesn’t appreciate the significance of the ACA, or are you a person that doesn’t realize that the supermajority only lasted something like 11 weeks (during which they managed to barely get the ACA to happen)?

      “No! You’ll get something! I’m doing things! They’re concepts of plans! We’ve got the greatest concepts!”
