Kamala Harris’ campaign quickly claimed victory after the ABC presidential debate, with her team gloating over “finally landing a punch on Donald Trump.” Elated surrogates floated the possibility of a rematch, signaling their confidence.

Meanwhile, Trump’s unexpected appearance in the post-debate spin room at the Pennsylvania Convention Center hinted at a different story. Accompanied by top surrogates, including Robert Kennedy Jr., Sen.Tom Cotton, and his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, the former president attempted to defend his performance. “We thought it was our best debate ever,” Trump declared, adding, “The polls are very good but beyond the polls, I felt very good, I had a good time doing it. I hate to speak about our country so negatively, but that’s what happened, they ruined our country,” quoted Rolling Stones.

According to reports, Trump’s team appeared unprepared for his arrival, with aides scrambling to manage the scene. Tim Murtaugh, a Trump campaign official, claimed the move “shows fearlessness and confidence,” contrasting it with Harris’ approach.
A Harris aide reportedly dismissed Trump’s presence as “desperate,” asking, “If you’re so confident you won tonight, why are you here?”

The debate left many of Trump’s surrogates struggling to shift the narrative. Rolling Stones reported, Stephen Miller, visibly rattled, tried to steer the conversation away from Trump’s controversial comments about Haitian immigrants during the debate. Yet Democrats were quick to highlight Harris’ strong moments, especially on abortion rights. “She nailed him,” said Mini Timmaraju, president of Reproductive Freedom for All. “She got him on the record.”

Sen. Tammy Duckworth added, “He obviously doesn’t understand how IVF works,” pointing to a key moment in the debate when Trump appeared to falter. Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom, predicting Trump’s overreaction, noted, “We will see him reacting to this for weeks and weeks, with his pity party and his grievance mindset.”
As both sides digest the debate, the fallout continues, with Harris’ team riding high and Trump left defending his unexpected spin room visit.
