“Donald Trump’s performance in Tuesday night’s debate is likely to exacerbate the widening financial gap that he faces with Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now enjoying her eighth week of momentum with big and small donors alike,” the New York Times reports.
“Several large donors and fund-raising activists for Mr. Trump, along with their advisers, described the debate as a significant missed opportunity for him to firm up his support with voters and major contributors.

Now, his wealthy supporters are confronting the possibility that they may be dramatically outspent.”
