Vice President Kamala Harris needled former President Donald Trump for refusing to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election.
“Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. So let’s be clear about that, and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that,” the Democrat said during her debate with the former president on Tuesday.
“It leads one to believe that perhaps we do not have in the candidate to my right the temperament or the ability to not be confused about fact. That’s deeply troubling and the American people deserve better.”
Harris and Trump met for their first and possibly only debate on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC in Philadelphia. Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee this summer after Biden gave a troubling debate performance in June, increasing calls for him to drop out of the race.
According to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, more than two-thirds of Americans say they will watch all or most of the debate. While many voters have already made up their minds, 14 percent of Americans say the debate will have a great impact on which candidate they choose.
