‘The other side are talking about eating dogs’: Democrats still delighted about what happened at Trump-Harris debate

Representative Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey did not mince words when The Independent asked about if Vice President Kamala Harris’s debate performance confirmed that she and other Democrats were right in calling for President Joe Biden to step aside.

“Yes,” she told The Independent. “I think we're seeing people come out, especially young people. I'm hearing a lot of reports from parents who said their kids weren't going to vote, and now they are voting.”

“We're having busloads of people going to Pennsylvania to knock on doors right now,” Sherrill added, saying that there had been a “great response” to Harris’s performance in the debate.

Sherrill, a who flipped a seat held for decades by Republicans in 2018, is the exact type of Democrat who knew that Biden could be a drag on Democrats in November after his disastrous debate performance.

Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts offered a withering criticism when he claimed Biden did not even recognize him during an event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

“Oh, my God, absolutely,” he said, when asked if the debate showed it was right for Harris to ascend to the top of the ticket. He did, however, quickly then pivot to giving the president credit: “The enthusiasm that you see among Democrats and many independents who wanted another choice throughout the country is because President Biden was willing to step aside. It was the greatest turnaround in American political history.”

Some were more careful in their words.
