In a move that could only be described as “classic Trump,” the former president made a whirlwind trip to the post-debate spin room after his showdown with Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite the media circus that was ABC’s moderators providing what many observers viewed as an uneven playing field, Trump was quick to declare himself the winner. Not only did he bask in the glow of his supposed victory, but he also hinted at a little bounce in the 2024 polling numbers.
While social media seemed rife with commentary favoring Harris, Trump took it upon himself to unveil some impressive numbers from his campaign’s snap polls. According to his count, he stomped Harris in terms of debate performance, boasting wins of 92 to 6 and 88 to 11. It’s always fascinating how Trump can turn any event into a celebration of his own magnificence, doesn’t it?

However, reporters just couldn’t resist poking at the obvious. If Trump believed he trounced Harris, why show up in the spin room at all? Was it merely to revel in the victories? It turns out that Trump had some thoughts regarding the moderators, who he claimed made it feel like a “three-on-one” scenario. In his eyes, ABC has always been the bottom of the barrel when it comes to news networks—a badge of honor for conservatives who appreciate quality journalism.
This was just the beginning, as Harris’s team promptly called for a rematch, which Trump interpreted as a clear sign of distress on the vice president’s end. He couldn’t help but chuckle at the irony of it all; Harris, in his mind, must have been wallowing in defeat to demand another shot at him so soon. Trump relished the thought that her team felt it necessary to hold another debate to make up for what they perceived as their own shortcomings.
While he didn’t commit outright to the idea of a second face-off, Trump did leave the door open just a crack. A concession perhaps? Not quite! He remained steadfast in his judgment that Harris had “lost very badly.” Now, wouldn’t that be a delightful spectacle for the right-wing crowd: a rematch where their favorite candidate could again roll over the liberal establishment? The potential for more entertainment in the political arena is almost too good to resist.
