Donald Trump's debate performance is leaving some Republicans concerned about the hit his campaign may take.

Candidates generally prepare before the debate, but Trump has been telling the press he's spent his whole life preparing for the moment. One Republican said that it was clear he had crafted some answers on issues to be clearer and even one zinger. The problem is that they didn't land.

Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX) trashed former President Donald Trump's debate performance on Tuesday night for being filled with a slew of falsehoods.

MSNBC played a clip of Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) after the debate in the spin room, where even he seemed confused about the false claims Trump promoted about pets being kidnapped and eaten by immigrants.

President Donald Trump's campaign is on the airwaves making excuses for his debate performance on Tuesday night. Behind the scenes, however, Republicans are reportedly calling it "a disaster."

MSNBC's Dasha Burns spoke from the debate site in Pennsylvania the morning after, revealing what GOP officials are saying behind Trump's back.

After Tuesday night's debate, one of the biggest celebrities in the world endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Already, it's clear to analysts that it's getting under Donald Trump's skin.

MSNBC walked through the Taylor Swift endorsement, which came minutes after the candidates left the stage. The star said on her Instagram page that she was concerned about AI images Trump shared last month falsely claiming she was endorsing him.

The Michigan attorney general is taking over a state lawmaker's criminal case after police sought charges against him.

Republican state Rep. Neil Friske has been under investigation by a county prosecutor, but now that multiple jurisdictions are involved, prosecutors are handing the case off to Attorney General Dana Nessel.

In the pre-game of Tuesday's debate, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace and analyst John Heilemann noticed former President Donald Trump's campaign made odd excuses for him before he even stepped on stage.

Wallace noted in an earlier segment it was surprising to see Trump's advisers in the pages of The New York Times acknowledging they fear Trump can't control himself.

Democratic leaders are growing "frustrated" that the U.S. Army hasn't produced an incident report about an altercation at Arlington National Cemetary purportedly involving members of Donald Trump's campaign.

A Democratic aide said officials have been asking for the report for nearly two weeks, Greg Sargent of The New Republic reported Tuesday. Lawmakers also want a play-by-play of what was said to the Trump campaign staffers before the incident.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Tuesday that Lev Parnas felt so guilty about his role in trying to bring down Joe Biden and his family that he spilled to her — and got a longer jail sentence as a result.

Donald Trump ally Rudy Giuliani brought together two men in a scheme to dig up dirt in Ukraine on Biden before the 2020 election, according to Parnas.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow claimed Tuesday that Donald Trump's erratic behavior gets downplayed because, inevitably, he follows it with more unhinged behavior while the media "sane washes" his statements to be more benign.

Joining "The View" ahead of the debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Maddow said that little is known about how Harris may debate.

An ex-aide to former President Donald Trump advised Vice President Kamala Harris that he has a 15-minute time limit at Tuesday's debate — and then he'll lose it.

"The View" co-hosts began their show by predicting how Trump and Harris's first and possibly only debate would go.
