It really helps us out. A lot of people are saying Kamala Harris won the debate and I understand why

It was presented that way. It was a three on one attack

The questions were designed to make Kamala Harris look good. They were designed to make Donald Trump look bad

They didn't press her on anything. They didn't fact check her on anything. It was a disaster for these debate moderators who should be ashamed of themselves

But even with all of that, here's the reality. This doesn't decide elections

First of all, you can't really call this the first debate because Trump debated the Harris

Biden regime before and he knocked them out. They had to change candidates with how devastating Trump nailed Biden in the first debate

ABC on the other hand, you know, they were prepared. They were prepared in terms of protecting their preferred candidate and that's what happened

But even with that said, even with all that, as CNN points out here, still may not be enough

and probably won't be enough to give Kamala Harris the presidency. That's not what people vote on, how you did in the debate

People vote with their pockets and people think Trump is better with the economy

I want you to watch this clip from CNN and then let me know what you think in the comments

See though a change in the polls, a rise or a bump for Harris

I think that the most likely scenario is that you will in fact see a rise in the polls. Why

Take a look at the last four times we had a first debate and look at those winners. Did they see a rise in the polls? Yes

Mitt Romney in 2012, Hillary Clinton 2016, Joe Biden 2020 and Donald Trump earlier this

year, they all saw rises in the polls of two points or more

And given how close this race is nationally, given how close it is in the swing states

do not be surprised if Kamala Harris jumps out to a lead nationally and don't be surprised

if she jumps out to a slight small lead in those key battleground states

It should still probably be a close race based upon history, but no doubt, at least based

upon history, we should expect Kamala Harris to receive a polling bump and a race as tight

as this one that would certainly be welcomed. OK, so the big question is, historically, what does this all mean for the potential

of winning in November? Because there have been debates that people have lost, but they've won the election

Yeah, there you go. That's the key question, Sarah Seidner. You may receive a momentary polling bump, but does that mean you're going to go on and

win the election? Not necessarily, because the fact is the election's all the way in November

And by my calendar, we're still in September. And look at that. Lost the first debate, but won the election

George W. Bush in 2004 lost that first debate to John Kerry

He won in the fall. How about Barack Obama? We mentioned Mitt Romney earlier

He won. Mitt Romney won that first debate, but Barack Obama won in the fall. And of course, Donald Trump in 2016, he lost that first debate to Hillary Clinton, but

he went on to win in the fall. So the bottom line is, yes, last night was good news for Kamala Harris

She won the debate in the minds of debate watchers. Yes, based upon history, she should see a polling bump, but that doesn't necessarily

mean that she'll win come November. There's another big difference here, whether or not there's going to be a second debate

We heard Donald Trump early this morning saying that he doesn't think there needs to be one because he felt he won decisively
