Trump's allies criticize debate moderators for perceived bias, claiming unfair treatment and easier questions for Kamala Harris, hinting they don't think Trump won the debate.

Former President Donald Trump's allies are expressing frustration over his inability to maintain composure during the September 10 debate. Despite their own criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris for not directly answering questions, they felt Trump's antics overshadowed her responses.

Trump's team had cautioned him against reacting to Harris' provocations, but he repeatedly failed to heed this advice. Instead, he engaged with her, even arguing over trivial matters like whether attendees leave his rallies early, further fueling his allies' frustration.

Trump's team and supportive Republicans have begun to shift blame to the moderators, claiming they unfairly fact-checked Trump while giving Kamala Harris a free pass and softer questions. This tactic implies that Trump's allies don't believe he emerged victorious from the debate.
