Trump, Harris both claim victory in presidential debate as voters react

Vice President Harris stop in Charlotte. Today kicks off a four day swing state tour for her campaign. At the same time, former President Donald Trump is preparing to rally in Arizona, WCNC Charlotte's Bree Jackson breaks down both candidates first post debate moves as election day near Good morning, Ben Sarah. It's estimated that more than 67 million people tuned into Tuesday's debate. That's over 15 million more than when President Biden and former President Trump faced off back in June marking a big opportunity for both candidates to make their case to voters in this critical stretch. Vice President Harris and former President Trump both appearing at ceremonies Wednesday Commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the 911 terror attacks. The solemn remembrance following a heated night on the debate stage between the two presidential candidates. The Harris campaign calling for a rematch. The former president is non committal. Are we going to do a rematch? I just don't know, we'll think about it. I would do NBC I do Fox. The first, possibly only debate between the two is drawing mixed reaction from politicians to Americans in battleground states. This was a classic President Trump performance I think she had a really good debate. I can't be happy about going and pushing either button. Both campaigns are seeking to sway undecided voters as they return the campaign trail. Harris riding a fresh wave of post debate enthusiasm after receiving an endorsement from superstar Taylor Swift. I think that she does have impact as an individual Taylor Swift and it could have some overbearing effects on the election. The Trump supporters are Trump supporters. I'm sorry. That's just the way it is for us. Government officials say more than 330,000 people visited a voter registration link posted by the singer Wednesday. It remains to be seen if those website clicks turn into votes on election day and the first ballots of the general election are heading to voters as Alabama officials started mailing them out Wednesday in Washington, Bree Jackson, WCNC Charlotte.
