Despite media praise for Vice President Kamala Harris' performance in the presidential debate, undecided voters have expressed reservations about her economic answers, with some expressing a preference for former President Trump.
Amidst the chorus of liberal acclaim for Vice President Kamala Harris' performance in the presidential debate, undecided voters have injected a note of skepticism, raising concerns about her economic policies and expressing a preference for former President Donald Trump.
Post-debate interviews conducted by CNN, CBS, and Fox revealed a common theme among undecided voters: a lack of substance in Harris' responses, particularly on economic issues.

"She just basically repeated everything that Biden has said in the past," said one voter. "She didn't talk about her policy changes from 2020 to 2024."
Another voter observed, "She deflected on immigration and didn't take responsibility for Biden's responsibility for letting people in illegally."

While Harris' handlers may have successfully shielded her from addressing her past, present, or future, voters remained unimpressed.
"While there was some focus on policy, I don't think that we really got to the meat of the issues," said another undecided voter.

These concerns echo the sentiment expressed by the New York Times, which admitted, "voters weren't so sure" about Harris' performance.
Even Reuters, a news organization with a left-leaning bias, found that out of ten undecided voters interviewed, six were leaning towards Trump, citing Harris' vagueness and lack of substance.

Voters expressed particular concern about the skyrocketing inflation that has plagued the nation during Harris' vice presidency.
"My life was better when Trump was in office," said an undecided voter. "Now with Kamala's administration, things haven't been so fantastic, and she is saying she can fix the problems that her administration has caused. But I just don't know if I can afford to take that risk."

The media's portrayal of Harris as a victorious debater stands in stark contrast to the concerns raised by undecided voters.
"These voters notice something the media wishes they hadn't," wrote Fox News host Greg Gutfeld. "Kamala didn't say anything, which was the goal all along."

"They can't make you pretend your bills aren't going up like Hunter's pulse after an eight-ball," Gutfeld continued. "They can't deny your bank account is shrinking faster than Jesse Watters at a nude beach. And they can't make you ignore the fact that the candidate they want you to vote for presided over this mess."
While the media may have attempted to create a false narrative surrounding Harris' performance, undecided voters have demonstrated a clear understanding of the economic challenges facing the nation and a willingness to consider alternatives, even if it means looking beyond the media's preferred candidate.
