RFK Jr.: \u201cVice President Harris clearly won the debate in terms of her delivery, her polish, her organization, and her preparation\u2026 [Donald Trump] got distracted, and I think it\u2019s unfortunate\u2026 He was not able to make that case to the American public.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neil Cavuto: \u201c[Trump said] a couple of times today that he won the debate and all the polls show that he won the debate. I haven\u2019t seen a single one show that. What did you think of that reaction?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RFK Jr.: \u201cI have seen those polls. They are polls that you see on the internet, and a lot of them probably have statistical problems with them. But I would suspect that the\u2028polling over the next week is going to show probably a slight drop in his support, particularly among independents.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that Vice President Harris was better prepared and that she was much more polished\u2026 [Donald Trump’s delivery] is bad. […] I\u2019ve spoken to people on his team and members of his family\u2026 I think they feel the same way that I do. I think that, you know, there were some lost opportunities.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
