Jesse Watters: Kamala Harris Was Well-Rehearsed at the Debate, But She Wasn't Persuasive

Fox News host Jesse Watters analyzes some voters' reaction to the performances by Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump at the ABC News Presidential Debate.

Fox News host Jesse Watters analyzed some voters' reactions to the performances by Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump at the ABC News Presidential Debate on Wednesday's "Jesse Watters Primetime."

"Nobody's perfect. Certainly not me, certainly not you, and certainly not Donald Trump," said Watters. "But an imperfect Donald Trump still beats Kamala Harris at her best. And neither Trump nor Harris were at their best last night.

"They were at their very realest. Kamala was well-rehearsed, composed, aggressive. But voters still don't have a clue about what she wants to do. Trump was emotional, undisciplined, but his vision for America was clear, and he owned the big moments."

Watters said that Harris was "steady, but didn't have a moment."

"She triggered Trump for 90 minutes, then cocked her head and smirked," he said.

The Times says immediate reaction from political analysts favored Ms. Harris, whose attacks appeared to rattle Mr. Trump.

But not all voters, especially those undecided few who could sway the election, were effusive about the vice president's performance.

"Kamala's strategy was to provoke Trump and distract you from her record, a cowardly strategy for someone who wants to lead the country," said one voter.

Another voter said that Harris "came across as smug and condescending."

"She didn't seem to have any real solutions to the problems facing the country," the voter said.

Watters said that Trump "had a lot of energy" but that he "needed to be more disciplined."

"He needs to stay on message and avoid getting sidetracked," Watters said.

"But at the end of the day, Trump is a fighter," Watters said. "He's not afraid to go after his opponents, and he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in."

Watters said that the debate was a "draw" but that Trump "had the better moments."

"He was more passionate, more authentic, and more convincing," Watters said.

"Harris was well-prepared, but she was too robotic," Watters said. "She didn't come across as genuine."

Watters said that the debate was a "missed opportunity" for Harris.

"She had a chance to make a strong impression on undecided voters, but she didn't take it," Watters said.

"Trump, on the other hand, did what he needed to do," Watters said. "He energized his base, and he made the case for why he should be re-elected."
