RFK Jr.: “Vice President Harris clearly won the debate in terms of her delivery, her polish, her organization, and her preparation… [Donald Trump] got distracted, and I think it’s unfortunate… He was not able to make that case to the American public.” 

Neil Cavuto: “[Trump said] a couple of times today that he won the debate and all the polls show that he won the debate. I haven’t seen a single one show that. What did you think of that reaction?” 

RFK Jr.: “I have seen those polls. They are polls that you see on the internet, and a lot of them probably have statistical problems with them. But I would suspect that the
polling over the next week is going to show probably a slight drop in his support, particularly among independents.”

“I think that Vice President Harris was better prepared and that she was much more polished… [Donald Trump’s delivery] is bad. […] I’ve spoken to people on his team and members of his family… I think they feel the same way that I do. I think that, you know, there were some lost opportunities.”
