Løkke is associated with the <a href="https://www.archyde.com/kamala-harris-shines-bright-a-memorable-evening-for-the-vice-president/" title="Kamala Harris Shines Bright: A Memorable Evening for the Vice President”>Civita think tank and followed last night’s TV debate between the two presidential candidates in the USA. He has no doubts about which of them came out the best.
– Harris used this opportunity to reach the voters in the middle and present who she is, and then she managed to create a good contrast to Donald Trump, to shake him so that he became irritated and visibly angry, he tells NTB.
– It was not surprising that Trump struggled to be disciplined, but this was a clear strategy for Harris, he says.

However, Harris did not answer all the questions she was asked, he notes.
– On some questions she ducked away, for example when she was asked if people are better off now than four years ago. She didn’t answer that, which she got away with.
– She also did not answer very well the question about the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the worst foreign policy event for the Biden administration, says Løkke.
Limited degree
Although Harris made a good impression during the TV debate, such debates move the voters to a small extent, Løkke believes.
– But there was a certain proportion of voters in advance who felt that they did not know Kamala Harris well enough, and for them this was a good opportunity to introduce themselves and what she stands for.
– It is now so incredibly smooth that even small movements can potentially have an important effect, he says.
What will move the voters the most, the TV debate or pop star Taylor Swift’s support for Harris after the debate, Løkke is unsure.
– It remains to be seen what will have the most effect on the opinion polls, he says.
Don’t lose voters
Although Donald Trump came off badly during the debate, Løkke does not think he lost voters.
– No, I don’t think so. But that is not the important question either. The question is whether Harris wins doubters, and I think she made a good effort there, he says.

Løkke’s Verdict: Kamala Harris Takes the Lead in Presidential Debate
In the recent presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, Eirik Løkke, a renowned expert associated with the Civita think tank, has no doubts about which candidate came out on top. According to Løkke, Harris successfully used the opportunity to reach out to voters in the middle and present herself as a strong contrast to Trump, leaving him visibly irritated and angry [[1]].
Løkke, who has previously interacted with Trump, having advised Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen during his meeting with Trump at the White House in 2017 [[2]], believes that Harris’s strategy was to create a clear distinction between herself and Trump. He notes that Trump’s struggles to remain disciplined were not surprising, but Harris’s approach was a deliberate attempt to shake him.
However, Løkke also points out that Harris did not answer all the questions she was asked, dodging certain queries such as whether people are better off now than four years ago. Moreover, she did not provide a satisfactory answer to the question about the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which has been a major foreign policy blunder for the Biden administration [[1]].
Despite Harris’s strong performance, Løkke believes that such debates have a limited impact on voters. He suggests that a small proportion of voters who were previously unaware of Harris’s policies and stance were introduced to her, but the debate itself is unlikely to drastically sway public opinion [[1]].
Løkke’s analysis is not the first time he has weighed in on Trump’s policies. In 2018, he responded to a White House report criticizing living standards in Nordic countries, defending Denmark’s progressive policies [[3]].
Løkke’s verdict on the presidential debate suggests that Kamala Harris came out on top, effectively presenting herself as a strong alternative to Donald Trump. While Harris dodged certain questions, her overall performance was impressive, and she successfully created a clear distinction between herself and her opponent.
