Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed – without providing evidence – that the debate between him and rival Kamala Harris was “rigged.”
“It was a rigged deal, as I assumed it would be, because when you looked at the fact that they were correcting everything and not correcting with her,” he said on right-wing news channel Fox News.
He also panned pop megastar Taylor Swift for endorsing Harris shortly after the debate, saying: “I was not a Taylor Swift fan… she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat, and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Throughout the debate, Vice President Harris made several attempts to unsettle Trump, prompting him to go off-topic at times, addressing crowd sizes, President Biden, and an unfounded conspiracy about migrants abducting pets in Ohio.
A panel of voters reacting to the debate in a Fox News Digital discussion overwhelmingly declared Vice President Kamala Harris the winner.
