Kamala Harris Won Debate Against Donald Trump According to CNN Poll

-Hey, everybody, I'm Seth Meyers. This is our live "Closer Look" election special. We hope you're doing well. And now, if you don't mind, we're gonna get to the news. Well, the first presidential debate was last night, and the bar was pretty low for former president Donald Trump. All he had to do was not say anything too crazy. -They're eating the dogs. -Whoa! [ Laughter ] Someone want to help me lower this bar again? [ Laughter ] That's right. Vice President Kamala Harris faced off last night against former president Trump in their first and possibly only presidential debate. Yeah, I'm gonna say Trump probably doesn't want another night like that. That would be like Sully's passengers going right back to the airport to get on another flight. They'd be like, "To hell with that. We'll see Aunt Linda next year." According to a CNN poll, 63% of people who watched last night's debate thought Vice President Kamala Harris won. The other 37% spent today guarding their pets with their life. [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] The White House pushed back yesterday on false claims spread by congressional Republicans that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating family pets and said that they are, "Based on an element of racism." An element of racism? [ Laughter ] That's the biggest understatement since Tostitos, "A hint of lime." [ Laughter ] Former President Trump said today that ABC should have their broadcast license taken away because of last night's debate. Hey, if they didn't lose it after "Wife Swap," they ain't ever losing it. [ Laughter ] They ain't ever losing it. On "Fox and Friends" yesterday, host Steve Doocy asked Vice President Kamala Harris's aide to invite her on the show and said, "If she can't talk to us, God forbid how she deals with Putin." Two problems. First, that's not how you use the expression, "God forbid," and, second, everybody knows Putin's show doesn't have guests. [ Laughter ] Former president Trump gave the final closing statement at last night's debate. Or so he thought. [ Cheers and applause ] He thought he had the last word. It turns out maybe that... [ Cheers and applause continues ] And, finally, after Taylor Swift officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, the Harris campaign sent an e-mail today that asked voters to "Join Taylor Swift and donate $25." Said Swifties, "We don't have any more money." [ Laughter ] And that was a monologue, everybody!
