Republican pollster Frank Luntz predicted former President Trump’s performance in the Tuesday night debate will ultimately cost him the election in November.
In an interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” Wednesday, Luntz criticized the GOP nominee’s performance and pointed to specific moments in the debate against Vice President Harris that he noted were particularly negative.
“It was a pretty negative performance, pretty pessimistic, cynical, contemptuous,” Luntz told Morgan in the interview, highlighted by Mediaite, adding, “and I think that this will cost him, yes.”
Luntz hesitated, appearing to choose his words carefully.
“I’m trying to decide if I want to go on record, and the answer is yes,” he continued. “I think that, that he loses because of this debate performance.”
Trump faced off against Harris for the first time Tuesday night, the first time the two candidates had met in person. During the approximately 90-minute debate, Harris sought to bait Trump on a range of issues, including the size of his rallies and world leaders “laughing” at him. Her strategy seemed to pay off, and the former president frequently responded to her provocations.
