According to the New York Times/Siena poll released over the weekend, about 28% of people said they needed to learn more about Vice President Kamala Harris, while only 9% said the same about Donald Trump with the race pretty much tied within the margin of error. Consequently, the conventional wisdom going into last night's debate was that Harris had much more to lose — and gain — than Trump, who is thought to have a pretty solid 46% no matter what. Harris could conceivably go up or down pretty substantially. The debate was therefore seen as make or break for her while for him it would probably change nothing. Could she rise to the occasion?
Indeed she did.
