Regardless if they believe it or not, they were always going to say it.

I dont think normies or anyone outside of the MAGA bubble would have seen the moderators as being in favour of Harris.
Conservatives are all asking “Why did they only fact check Trump?”

And failing to come to the obvious conclusion: He was the one lying

Analysis: Harris meets anger with attitude as she passes debate test​


By Michael Rowland​

Kamala Harris had one job going into the presidential debate. To prove she was capable of thinking on her feet in a high-stakes environment while at the same time showing she has what it takes to take the fight up to Donald Trump.
It's fair to see she got the job done.
Some Democrats were concerned about the vice-president's ability to operate away from the teleprompters at carefully choreographed rallies.
Harris helped contribute to these jitters by only giving the one TV interview since landing the Democratic Party's nomination.
These fears would have quickly melted away within the first few minutes of the debate. In a power move, the vice-president went out of her way to introduce herself to the former president and shake his hand (they of course had never met). Trump appeared to have been caught off guard by this. Harris did appear nervous in her first answer on the economy, but she quickly settled.
Harris was eloquent, passionate, and successfully baited her opponent numerous times. A line about crowd sizes at Trump rallies and people leaving early out of boredom appeared to be particularly triggering.
What we saw on stage was former prosecutor Kamala Harris. The Senator Kamala Harris who excoriated witnesses at Senate committee hearings. She coherently answered questions, laid out her plan for America and parried the many interjections from her right.
Trump was, well, Trump. He ranted about America being overrun by immigrants, crime being out of control and how he never lost the 2020 election. His comments were laced with grievance, anger, and falsehoods.
The moderators to their credit called out the former president on some of his wildest claims, including his assertion that migrants were eating Americans' pets in Springfield, Ohio.
Debates are important for what people say, but also how they look and sound.
Look no further than the Trump/Biden showdown in June. Kamala Harris was clearly alive to the TV split screen. Where Joe Biden stared vacantly with mouth agape while Trump was talking, Harris variously laughed, shook her head and put a quizzical finger to her mouth. It is already the stuff of memes.
Trump on the other hand looked and sounded angry. It's an approach that may appeal to the base, and particularly some male voters, but it could have put off those Americans who are yet to make up their minds.
Also, it may be small thing, but Trump barely looked at Harris and referred to her only as "she". At one stage he told her to be quiet. It will be interesting to see how all of this sits with female voters.
Kamala Harris had much more to lose from the debate. A poor performance would have been diabolical to a campaign that was already showing signs of losing some momentum. Not only does Harris live to fight another day, but she would have demonstrated to more than a few Americans she was capable of serving as commander-in-chief.
