Alabama’s political leaders reacted to the first Presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The debate was put on by ABC news in Pennsylvania.
Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth criticized Harris’ debating “skills.”
Kamala Harris’ policies are horrible, and it turns out her debate skills are as well. She will destroy America. Wake up, and Vote Trump who will bring back our economy.

Attorney General Steve Marshall believes the better choice should be obvious after the debate.
What we heard tonight presented two stark differences for the future of this Country. America is at a crossroads and for us to reach our full potential we must have a bold leader like Donald Trump in the White House.

U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) not only criticized Harris, but accused the moderators have being on her side.
Donald Trump won this debate and he did it while debating Kamala Harris and the two moderators.

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) argued that Harris evaded questions on her record when it comes to the American economy.
No surprise that Kamala Harris didn’t answer whether she thinks Americans are better off now than they were four years ago.
But that’s the question voters will answer on November 5.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) posted on his social media throughout the debate, blasting Harris over the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.
Kamala wants to talk about anything but the border.
That’s because she’s responsible for the 10 million+ illegal immigrants who have invaded our country.

World leaders are laughing at @KamalaHarris and @JoeBiden.
They disastrously withdrew from Afghanistan, leaving 13 American patriots to die.
They left Israel for dead, siding with Hamas terrorists.
They have sent BILLIONS to Ukraine, funding endless wars.
What a joke.

No press conferences…one joint interview…one hour into her only presidential debate…
And @KamalaHarris still hasn't actually said anything.
