The recent debate may have had the cameras flashing and anchors buzzing, but the real story is what undecided voters really thought about Vice President Kamala Harris’s performance. Despite lauding her showmanship, many viewers left the 90-minute spectacle still uncertain about whether she deserves their vote come November 5th. As it turns out, even a spirited debate isn’t enough to sway those on the fence, especially when half the attendees seem more inclined to grab a Trump bumper sticker than a Harris campaign flyer.
In a rather telling poll conducted among a group of ten undecided voters after the debate, six indicated they would be likely to throw their support behind Trump. Three had Harris in their sights, and just one individual was still sitting on the fence. These voters didn’t just choose Trump; they took Harris to task for her lack of concrete plans, with several mentioning that her agenda seemed more like a shopping list of shiny ideas rather than a serious blueprint for governance. The word “vague” came up more than a few times, especially when it came to the open secret that the nation is grappling with rising costs for homes and everyday goods.
🚨PROOF TRUMP WON THE DEBATE🚨

Mark Kadish, an entrepreneur from Florida, succinctly summed up a collective sentiment when he expressed confusion over Harris’s actual platform. Many voters were looking for some “meat and bones” in her proposals but were instead served a dish of empty rhetoric. Even Robert Wheeler, a security firm executive from Nevada who once had a flicker of admiration for the vice president, found himself swinging back toward Trump. He criticized Harris for her tendency to dodge key topics, suggesting she spent more time bashing Trump than showcasing why she could lead the country herself.
While the sample size of this survey is small, it mirrors a broader cross-section of the undecided electorate in key battleground states—white, black, men, and women alike. Despite what the mainstream media would have everyone believe about Harris’s strong debate performance, early indications suggest that the emperor may not be wearing any clothes. Reports indicated that as the dust settled on the debate night, many voters felt underwhelmed by her assertions and platitudes.
Finally, as the evening progressed, viewers couldn’t help but notice that the debate mostly resembled a spirited exchange of jabs rather than a substantial discussion about policy. Harris didn’t just stop short on specifics; she practically danced around them. For a campaign that was recently criticized for appropriating policy language from Biden’s own campaign, this lack of detail might raise eyebrows among voters seeking authenticity. Removing mentions of decriminalizing hard drugs and funding gender transition procedures was unlikely to pacify those already skeptical about her commitment to serious governance. The question remains: will this debate ultimately be a missed opportunity or just another highlight in Harris’s growing list of political faux pas?
