During the US election debate, Kamala Harris emerged victorious over Donald Trump. The Democratic candidate managed to unnerve her opponent by following a more aggressive tactic.
This is confirmed by the numbers presented by the New York Times in the analysis of the debate. Kamala Harris spoke less than her opponent by nearly six minutes, but was clearly more aggressive in her responses.
In total, the Democratic candidate spoke for 37 minutes and 41 seconds, of which 17 minutes and 25 seconds she had fired her arrows against Trump either on a personal level or on his policies.
On the other side, the Republican candidate spoke for 43 minutes and of those almost 13 attacked Harris.

The one-dimensional Trump and the multifaceted Harris
Of particular interest are the individual measurements of the years wasted by the two candidates to place themselves in the debate. The two issues they chose to focus on the most were the economy (Harris) on the one hand and immigration (Trump) on the other.
If one looks at the individual statistics of the years they spoke combined with the time they attacked their opponent, one can easily see that Harris received the biggest attack from Trump on immigration. In fact, there the former president of the USA also made mistakes.
For her part, Kamala Harris attacked Trump on almost every issue except the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
