At the “Debate Watch Party” in New York, Kamala Harris’ supporters can’t believe their luck. The few Trump fans are flabbergasted.
The first reaction in the audience comes when the two candidates shake hands: “Wow,” one shouts, “Kamala is going way over into Trump territory.”
The second reaction follows shortly after: loud clapping as she lists her plan for the middle class and small business owners.
And the third reaction soon after: a loud boo when Trump spread the word that Haitian migrants in Ohio were kidnapping and eating the pets of American citizens.
There’s a good atmosphere right from the start at the Bleu Nuk bar in Brooklyn. No spectators are allowed in the ABC studio in Philadelphia, but at the “Debate Watch Party” in the “Little Haiti” neighborhood, the clapping quickly turns into jeering and the hollering turns into malicious laughter.
