During a recent debate, Senator Chris Murphy, a campaign surrogate for the Harris campaign, defended Vice President Kamala Harris against accusations of flip-flopping on key issues. Murphy highlighted that politicians, including Harris, may evolve their positions over time, citing examples of other prominent figures like Donald Trump and J.D. Vance who have also changed stances.
Murphy praised Harris for her performance in the debate, emphasizing her clarity on important topics such as fracking and healthcare. He contrasted Harris' detailed policy proposals with what he described as Donald Trump's lack of specific plans and reliance on personal attacks and falsehoods.
Responding to calls for another debate between Harris and Trump, Murphy suggested that the American people would benefit from seeing the candidates together on stage again. He argued that Harris appeared composed and presidential, while Trump exhibited signs of distress and continued to spread misinformation.
Regarding the possibility of a debate on Fox News, Murphy expressed skepticism about Trump's willingness to engage in such an event. He suggested that Trump's reluctance to participate in another debate stems from a recognition of his perceived shortcomings when compared to Harris.
In conclusion, Murphy reiterated the view that Harris emerged as the victor in the debate, as evidenced by public opinion and Trump's own behavior post-debate. He emphasized the importance of focusing on substantive policy discussions and portrayed Harris as a candidate prepared to lead the country.
