Trump supporters in Pennsylvania said he missed an opportunity to attract moderate or undecided voters and attack Vice President Kamala Harris.
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris participate during an ABC News presidential debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
“She had him on his heels and he was just defending his record,” Agovino said. “He missed an opportunity because she’s the incumbent.”“I’m afraid sometimes that the Trump campaign looks at the collar counties like we’re Elk County or some other county where it’s 80% Republican,” he said. The performance confused some Trump allies, who noted the Harris campaign had signaled she would try to bait the former president on topics that might unleash the more pugnacious Trump. And the Trump campaign had indicated its strategy would be for Trump to be restrained and stick to issues like the economy and immigration.
Christian Nascimento, chair of the Montgomery County Republican Party, said he felt Trump largely stayed on message, though he wished he would have been more aggressive about Harris’ past positions.
