Following the recent debate, several senior Senate Republicans have expressed their opinions on former President Donald Trump's performance. North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis remarked that Trump seemed to have taken the bait from Vice President Kamala Harris during the debate. Tillis emphasized the importance of heeding advice from experts in politics to avoid potential pitfalls.
Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who is vying for GOP leadership, refrained from directly commenting on Trump's performance but criticized the debate format as unhelpful. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, while planning to vote for Trump, called for a stronger commitment to fiscal responsibility and continued Covid investigations.
