Despite these concerns, he believes Trump benefitted\u2064 from the debate due to perceived\u200c media\u200c bias against\u200d him, which may reinforce public \u2064support for the former president.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Rubio calls for Harris to answer why she hasn&rsquo;t already enacted campaign policies as VP<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1760153\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marco-rubio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Marco Rubio<\/a> (R-FL) argued Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> needs to explain why she has not implemented her campaign promises, reiterating statements former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> has made.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Harris and Trump recently participated in a presidential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/debates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>debate<\/a> hosted by ABC News, during which Trump pressed the vice president in his closing statement over why she would not make her campaign promises a reality while already in office.

During a recent presidential debate hosted by ABC News, Trump challenged Harris in his closing remarks about her failure to turn her campaign pledges into reality while already serving in office. Rubio, who endorsed Trump earlier this year, described Trump&#8217;s closing statement as &#8220;the most powerful moment&#8221; of the debate, emphasizing that Harris is fully accountable for the actions of the Biden administration. On Fox News&#8217;s One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, Rubio stated, &#8220;You\u2019ve been in a position; you\u2019re not some outsider running for office&#8230; Why haven\u2019t you done these things already? Many voters are aware of this distinction.&#8221; He pointed out that impressing media figures differs significantly from appealing to voters and believes that voter sentiment will ultimately determine the election outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio also criticized ABC News&#8217;s moderation of the debate, claiming that moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis failed in their fact-checking duties\u2014specifically when they did not correct Harris regarding a discredited report about Charlottesville. Despite these issues, he argued that the debate benefited Trump by highlighting media bias against him and reinforcing public perception of an agenda to see him defeated. Additionally, he took issue with how ABC framed their opening question to Harris about fixing the economy instead of asking what she would do differently as vice president. He was also critical of her response which focused on her middle-class upbringing rather than addressing policy differences.<\/p>\n<p>Recent polling indicates little change in voter sentiment since before the debate, with Harris leading 52%-46% among likely voters. As of Thursday, Trump announced there would be no further debates between himself and Harris because he believes he won their exchange and suggested she is seeking a rematch after losing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2341434,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Marco-Rubio-debate-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40936,4021,5438,32518,32076],"class_list":["post-2341433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-campaign-policies","tag-harris","tag-rubio","tag-vice-president","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Marco-Rubio-debate-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2341433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2341434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2341433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2341433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2341433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
