Summary
Two days after getting trounced in the debate, Trump turns to a familiar playbook: claim a win, trash the moderators, and—above all—refuse to debate again. The only hitch? All those Trump advisors and endorsers talking to the press about how poorly he did. Jon and Dan discuss Trump's attempt at spin, Harris's post-debate agenda, and the MAGA freakout over Taylor Swift's endorsement.

| 0:22.9 | On today's show, Donald Trump says no more debates, |
| 0:25.9 | as even Republicans are saying that he lost on Tuesday night. |
| 0:30.3 | Meanwhile, the Harris campaign is doing everything they can to keep the momentum going with new ads, big rallies, and more interviews. enough to whine about, Magorworld melts down over Taylor Swift's endorsement of |
| 0:44.9 | Kamala Harris, but first, more than 67 million people watch Tuesday |
| 0:50.6 | night's debate, about 15 million more than watch the Biden Trump debate |
| 0:55.0 | in June and the more data we get the more clear it is that Kamala Harris won the |

| 1:16.1 | five-point lead over Trump which is her gaining a few points since before the |
| 1:21.0 | debate so we won't get a full picture of post-debate |
| 1:23.9 | polling until probably the end of next week or the week after. But until then, |
| 1:29.5 | we also have some great feedback from swing state voters who haven't made up their minds yet. |
| 1:34.7 | Our pal Sarah Longwell at the Bulwark offered a glowing report from her nine-person panel |
| 1:40.3 | where the most common word to describe Kamala's performance was presidential. |
| 1:46.4 | That kind of take seems to be shared by a lot of the undecided voters who spoke to reporters |
| 1:49.8 | at CNN, MSNBC, and elsewhere after the debate, |
| 1:54.2 | let's listen. |
| 1:55.4 | So that's Trump the bully. |
| 1:56.9 | And I think Kamala Harris came out showing some decorum |
| 2:00.1 | and some presidential nature about her. So I think we're the doors a little bit open |
| 2:06.0 | but it also sounds like this debate |
