In The Spin Room: Donald Trump And Allies Insist He Won The ABC News Debate, But Grouse That It “Was Three Against One”

deadline.com:

Donald Trump called into Fox & Friends this morning, continuing to insist that he won Tuesday’s presidential debate against Kamala Harris yet also that the ABC News event was unfair and “three against one.” That was a reference to David Muir and Linsey Davis, who in co-moderating also did fact-checks of some of the former president’s wildest claims.

The former president was intent on spinning his performance at the debate, even though he was repeatedly baited by Harris, often sounded angry and went back to his unfounded claim that he won the 2020 election.

The effort to control the narrative started just minutes after the event ended, when both campaigns dispatched their armies of surrogates to the spin room, the Olympic-sized pool area of blue carpet in the Philadelphia Convention Center.

The spin room spectacle is an endurance test for campaign talking heads to stick the talking points in the face of large scrums of journalists and camera crews, their queries threatening to knock them off their game.
