Frank Luntz on Debate Dynamics: Trump Stumbles, Harris Gains?

During a recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Frank Luntz shared his insights into the debate's outcome. When asked by Morgan whether Kamala Harris's performance could lead her to victory in the election, Luntz shifted focus towards Donald Trump's performance, suggesting it was less about Harris winning and more about Trump losing ground. He noted that Trump's debate showing wasn't the worst he'd seen but ranked disappointingly close due to its content and delivery. Luntz criticized Trump for straying into irrelevant discussions, like the consumption of pets and undue praise for Hungary's leader, while missing crucial chances to address key issues such as inflation and living costs. Moreover, he highlighted Trump's aggressive approach towards opponents, including Biden and Harris, which detracted from his ability to effectively communicate his viewpoints.
