showing against Trump back in June ignited a Democratic crisis of confidence in his re-election campaign which ultimately led to him dropping out of the race altogether. Davis, who had been one of the moderators in the Trump-Biden debate, reacted to the vice presidential showdown by saying she didn’t think it would do much to move on-the-fence voters one way or the other.
