During a recent interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared his insights on the recent debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Kennedy acknowledged that while he believed Trump won on substance, Harris emerged victorious in terms of delivery, polish, organization, and preparation.
Expressing concern, Kennedy predicted that Trump's performance in the debate might lead to a decline in support in upcoming polls. He noted that Trump missed an opportunity during an exchange on economic policy, where he should have emphasized the consequences of rising inflation but instead got distracted.
Despite endorsing Trump and believing in his policies, Kennedy expressed disappointment in Trump's inability to effectively communicate his achievements to the American public during the debate. He suggested that Trump's support, especially among independent voters, could see a slight decrease in the aftermath of the debate.
Contrary to Trump's claims of winning the debate based on rapid reaction polls, Kennedy hinted at a potential dip in support for the President in the post-debate polling. However, Kennedy reiterated his belief that Trump remains the better candidate on policy grounds.
Summing up his thoughts, Kennedy emphasized that while Trump may have had a strong argument for his presidency based on governance, he failed to convey that effectively during the debate. Kennedy's analysis points towards a nuanced view of the debate outcome, highlighting the importance of both substance and presentation in political discourse.
