Dan Pfeiffer: “The last debate ended the candidacy of the sitting President of the United States. It changed everything about this race — and Donald Trump will not stop yapping about it. If the June debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was the most important in modern history, tonight’s debate between Trump and Kamala Harris will likely be the second most important.”

“There’s an excellent chance this is the only time the two candidates share a debate stage before the election. Voters are thirsting for more information about Kamala Harris and could certainly use a reminder or two about Trump’s erraticism, instability, and declining cognitive function.”

“Fifty million people watched the Biden-Trump debate. I would be shocked if that number is not higher this time around. Democratic enthusiasm is through the roof compared to June. People who checked out of politics in 2021 have checked back in, and there is a genuine curiosity surrounding Kamala Harris.”
