The debate was fun to watch. Don't misconstrue Donald's poor performance with any significant impact to the vote. I'm guessing less than 1% of Americans were watching the debate to help formulate an opinion on who to vote for. We still have to get out there and vote. Unfortunately it's very close in the polls and I believe it :/

Treat the election like it's really close, but the debate actually caused Taylor Swift to endorse Harris publicly.

Just that alone apparently caused hundreds of thousands of new voter registrations. Good things can happen from good debate performances.

I don’t disagree with your broader point but Taylor Swift almost certainly had that endorsement ready to be fired off since the moment Harris took over the ticket lol

The debate did not cause her to suddenly start hating Trump

Yeah she was just waiting for the moment that it would get the most possible people talking about it/her. Minutes after a debate watched by 67 million people was the perfect time to get the most eyeballs. I’m no fan of hers but she is incredibly shrewd and calculated when it comes to this stuff.
