Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer said President Trump’s best points in the debate came later and therefore were less impactful.
“Unfortunately, a lot of his really good points came toward the latter end of the debate,” Spicer said in the Newsmax TV debate recap. “His point on taxes, his point on his record, he hit him really hard.
By all accounts, the second and final presidential debate moderated by Kristin Welker, was a little calmer than the first one that featured Trump and Biden name-calling and talking over each other.
Spicer, a former White House press secretary during the Trump administration and now a Newsmax TV host of Spicer & Co has long stressed the early moments are the most impactful.
Spicer said Trump landed some big blows as the debate wore on. “I just wonder how many people stayed through that part of the debate. “I think once the fireworks weren’t there, how many of them stayed through?” Spicer noted.
The Hunter Biden story that the New York Post broke last week did not dominate the debate like many though it would. Mr. Biden deflected the issue by declaring that Trump did not want to talk about substantive issues.
