Impact of the Harris-Trump Debate on Campaign Strategies

The recent debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump significantly influenced the strategies of both campaigns in anticipation of the upcoming election. While Harris's team believes they successfully shifted the campaign's focus onto Trump’s fitness for office, Trump's allies privately acknowledge that his performance fell short of expectations. Instead of steering the conversation towards his preferred topics like the economy and immigration, Trump became ensnared in the disputes Harris initiated, raising concerns about potential negative fallout in public opinion. As a response, Trump is planning events centered on economic discussions to regain control of the narrative as the election date approaches.
