How Kamala Harris Baited Trump Into a Debate on Her Terms
Trump allowed himself to be distracted from his efforts to define Harris, while she hammered her core argument that the former president was unfit for the job.
Kamala Harris staked her debate strategy on Tuesday night on trolling Donald Trump before a national TV audience, leaving her opponent on the back foot.
The Democratic presidential nominee baited her Republican opponent into defending his felony convictions, his wealth and his role in overturning the federal right to an abortion. She needled him about the enthusiasm of his rally crowds and his propensity for outlandish statements and conspiracy theories.
