00:06people are just starting to give me credit for having a great debate.

00:11but the fake news media wasn't giving the credit that was due.

00:17showed that 57% of viewers thought that Vice President Kamala Harris won the debate,

00:22with only 34% giving the victory to Trump.

00:25Trump also faced criticism from some of his own prominent supporters,

00:28including Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:36her polish, her organization, and her preparation.

00:40President Trump wins in terms of his governance,

00:47but he didn't tell that story.

00:48Trump also criticized the debate's moderators,

00:51saying they should fire everybody at ABC Fake News.

00:54It remains to be seen whether or not the two candidates will participate in a rematch.

00:58In a conversation with Sean Hannity after the debate,

01:01Trump said that showing up for a second one would be a sign of weakness.

01:05The reason you do a second debate is if you lose, and they lost.
