Trump is satisfied with the election debate, and some allies, donors and advisers shook their heads and smiled bitterly

Odaily Odaily reported that some Republican officials, donors and advisers said that Trump messed up the debate with Harris. Trump said on Wednesday, "I think this is one of my better debates, maybe my best debate." Trump ally, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, is one of the few party leaders who have publicly stated that Trump performed poorly. Graham told reporters when talking about Trump's debate performance, "Missed opportunity." He also said that the former president failed to stay focused and lost the opportunity to tout his political achievements. Six Republican donors and three Trump advisers also told reporters that they believed the main reason Harris won the debate was that Trump could not speak in a consistent manner. (Jinshi)
