The race to win over undecided voters may not have been settled after Tuesday night’s debate where Vice President Kamala Harris was widely credited with a strong performance. Some Americans who watched the televised sparring told Reuters that they remain unconvinced that the Democrat is the better candidate.
In a survey of 10 people who said they remain undecided about the November 5th election, the outlet asked respondents to watch the 90-minute debate and report back with their thoughts. In a stunning reversal of what may be expected, six voters said they would certainly or most likely vote for Trump, compared to three for Harris and one who remained undecided. More than a few suggested Harris will need to be far more serious about paying for her costly priorities before they can considering voting for her. Five respondents described the veep as “vague” when it came to tackling the high prices of homes and home goods.

“I still don’t know what she is for,” said Mark Kadish, 61, an entrepreneur in Florida. “There was no real meat and bones for her plans.” Robert Wheeler, 48, a security firm executive in Nevada who was previously leaning toward Harris, said her posturing and platitudes left him feeling more committed to voting for Trump who he said has actually proposed tangible policies to back up his promises. “I felt like the whole debate was Kamala Harris telling me why not to vote for Donald Trump instead of why she’s the right candidate,” Wheeler said.
Although the sample size is small, the focus group of four women and six men, eight of whom are White and two Black, is analogous to diverse swaths of undecided voters in battleground states. And despite insistence from pundits and mainstream media outlets that Harris decisively won the debate, warning lights were flashing on Wednesday morning as more undecided voters began telling reporters they weren’t so impressed with the vice president.
You can sense the desperation and fear coming from the regime: “We rigged that debate perfectly and made it impossible for him to look good, and it still didn’t work??” pic.twitter.com/8dNmtkd7PZ

Much of the 90-minute broadcast on ABC News was focused on barb-trading between the two candidates. Harris excoriated Trump’s policies and leadership qualities, causing Trump to respond. Besides a few answers on tax benefits to working families and small businesses, Harris largely glided past opportunities to provide detailed answers. That strategy may come back to haunt her, as just days earlier the campaign was caught lifting entire policy passages from President Joe Biden’s campaign website. Former positions, including the decriminalization of all hard drugs and paying for gender transition surgeries for migrants and prisoners, have been scrubbed from her website.
