Kennedy, once a Democrat himself, did not hold back on his critique of Harris’ record, pointing out that she had four years to address these pressing issues but failed to deliver any meaningful solutions. “This is happening all over our country. It’s the first time in American history you have a generation of kids who’s going to be worse off than their parents. And Vice President Harris has had four years to deal with these issues, and they’ve just gotten worse,” he said. He continued by taking aim at the debate moderators, accusing them of being “clearly biased” in their handling of Trump while giving Harris a pass on important questions. “Unfortunately, we had moderators who were constantly fact-checking Donald Trump, but none of these kinds of whoppers that the vice president was saying,” Kennedy added.

The bias accusation was echoed by Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld during a segment on “The Five,” where he described the debate as a “DEI debate,” referring to diversity, equity, and inclusion—suggesting that the moderators were more concerned with pushing a narrative than fostering a fair discussion.
“Well, I don’t know who won, but I know who lost. It was the American people. You know, you could say if you complain about the refs, you’re losing. Well, if the refs are corrupt, you’ve got a complaint because everybody lost,” Gutfeld said. His frustration was palpable as he added, “I felt like my brain was being waterboarded by the sheer nonsense of these idiot moderators.”
Gutfeld questioned the ability of viewers to discern a true winner in such a biased format. “I honestly don’t know how anyone can decide who won the debate. That’s like trying to guess the price of a painting that you suspect is a forgery. You can’t objectively decide a winner in a sham competition,” he remarked.
While mainstream media outlets largely declared Harris the winner, viewer feedback told a different story. According to Reuters, many debate watchers were still unconvinced of Harris’ candidacy. The news outlet conducted a focus group of ten undecided voters, and six of them said they would either “definitely” or “most likely” vote for Trump, while only three leaned toward Harris. One respondent remained undecided.
Several participants criticized Harris for failing to provide concrete plans to address the high costs of living, with one labeling her as “vague.” Mark Kadish, a 61-year-old entrepreneur from Florida, expressed frustration, saying, “I still don’t know what she is for. There was no real meat and bones for her plans.”

Another respondent, Robert Wheeler, a 48-year-old executive in Nevada, had previously considered voting for Harris but was left unimpressed by her debate performance. “I felt like the whole debate was Kamala Harris telling me why not to vote for Donald Trump instead of why she’s the right candidate,” Wheeler said. His comments highlight a broader issue facing Harris, as many voters are looking for a more tangible platform beyond simply opposing Trump.
The debate underscored deep divides, not only between the candidates but also in how media and voters perceive the fairness of the process. With critical issues like inflation and the economy on the line, the 2024 election is shaping up to be one of the most contentious in recent memory. Whether Harris can overcome the criticisms leveled by both her opponents and undecided voters remains to be seen, but the path ahead for her is undoubtedly steep.
