As Kamala Harris took on Donald Trump in the Presidential Debate, we bar-hopped around the city to hear what New Yorkers had to say about it.
. On Tuesday night, bars across New York decided to turn down the music and turn up the politics as residents came together to watch what they could only describe as “chaos” unfold. While Trump spouted conspiracy theories about transgender “aliens,” dog-eating Haitians, and the Central Park Five, and as Harris countered him with a steady and often bemused hand, the crowds erupted in raucous laughter and even louder boos. New Yorkers, of course, don’t typically hold back.
But my lows were just looking at Trump, seeing his face and his reactions. And I honestly did feel bad for him at points because he just looked like he was about to cry. He looked like he was freaking out.RUSSELL: What was your high and low from tonight? WEST: No. I think in New York, clearly, I feel very frustrated and upset at the direction of the Democratic Party, especially in its approach to Israel and Palestine and the war in Gaza. Also, Eric Adams has a bunch of really terrible proposals that are going to be on the ballot. And we have an actual potential good one: the Equal Rights proposal on the ballot.
