Roughly two-thirds of Americans said Kamala Harris won her presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. Trump made a range of false claims throughout the debate, among them that immigrants in Ohio are eating household pets to survive — a claim that was debunked live by the city manager of Springfield, Ohio, a city Trump had mentioned by name. Harris, in contrast, was widely regarded for effectively communicating her plans on various issues, including the economy, abortion and the U.S. housing crisis.
Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey reviews the debate and concludes that Trump just doesn’t care enough to put in the hard work of serving someone other than himself.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:
I don’t agree with any singular politician in all of their policies, but at least she [Kamala Harris] has them. Donald Trump is talking about Haitians eating dogs, okay, something that has been debunked. It’s a fairy tale. It is a myth. And then what, his vice president, JD Vance, has to answer these questions after the debate. He basically says yes, yes, there are reports from first-hand [sic]. There are reports of alien abductions, but you don’t bring those alien abduction reports to a debate stage for president of the United States!
And then Trump saying, “Well, I heard it on television. I saw it on television.” That is the ultimate fifth-grader response. Yeah, yeah, I saw somebody say it on TV. We’re not at a barbershop, Trump. We’re not at the local pub. It’s a presidential debate!
