From the moment Donald Trump and Kamala Harris walked off the debate stage, both their campaigns have argued about who won the showdown.
But the real question is what the debate meant to a small sliver of voters in a handful of swing states.
Campbell Robertson, a reporter on The Times’s National desk, and Stella Tan, a producer on “The Daily,” speak to three undecided voters about what they saw during the debate, and how much closer it brought them to a decision.

Trump should stop putting a match to the gas of hate he is perpetuating. This is on trump especially if it a fact or a staged attempt. Sound fishy to most Americans that Trump is conning America to garner support to vote for the crooked wannabe dictator.
Undecided voters not knowing whether to get in the car with the check engine light on or the car on fire and about to explode. These “undecided” are absolute embarrassments
