Moghalu: Harris Won Debate, But Trump Could Still Win Due to Electoral College
Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu, has shared his thoughts on the recent U.S. presidential election debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, Moghalu highlighted Harris’s impressive performance, stating that she had been underestimated before the debate but went on to exceed expectations.
According to Moghalu, Harris displayed qualities of leadership throughout the debate, showing poise, precision, and a strong command of the issues discussed.
He pointed out that her concise delivery of points gave her the edge over Trump, who, he noted, fell for her strategic baits. “@KamalaHarris clearly won her debate with @realDonaldTrump last night.
She was underestimated going in, but was very prepared and over-performed. She was poised and presidential, precise and concise with her points. Trump mostly not so. And he fell for her baits,” Moghalu wrote.
Despite praising Harris’s debate performance, Moghalu expressed skepticism about her overall chances of winning the presidential election, largely due to the influence of the U.S. Electoral College system.
He suggested that while Harris has the potential to gain more support in the coming weeks, Trump might still emerge victorious if the election were held immediately.
Moghalu pointed out that Trump’s base of support seems firm, while Harris could still have room to expand her reach.
“But if the election were held today Trump probably would still win, because of the Electoral College system,” Moghalu added, emphasizing that the race is still highly competitive and could go either way by November.
He believes Harris may have an opportunity to build momentum as the race progresses, while Trump might have already reached the peak of his support.
Moghalu’s analysis has sparked interest, particularly his view that Harris, despite her strong debate performance, faces significant structural challenges within the U.S. political system that could make Trump’s path to victory easier.
With the election nearing, both candidates are expected to intensify their campaigns, and the final outcome remains uncertain.
Moghalu’s commentary underscores the unpredictable nature of the race and the pivotal role the Electoral College plays in determining the winner.
