A CNN flash poll of debate watchers found 67 percent of those surveyed said Trump won the debate, compared to 33 percent who said Biden won. Vice President Harris defended Biden’s debate performance during a round of interviews on Thursday night, even as she conceded he had a “slow start.” “Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a strong finish,” she said on CNN. “And what became very clear through the course of the night is that Joe Biden is fighting on behalf of the American people.”
