Part 6/8:
During debates, moderators play crucial roles in framing the discourse. The way they handle exchanges can influence how the audience perceives the candidates’ reliability and competency. In this instance, the moderator often points out discrepancies in Trump’s statements, signaling to voters that not all assertions are valid, often contrasting this with Harris's less direct answers.
This dynamic creates tensions where assertiveness may win favor among certain voter segments, while others may favor the nuanced approach of Harris. However, the analysis suggests that many voters prioritize decisiveness and clarity, appreciating Trump’s blunt communication style over Harris's indirect methods.
