It depends on who you speak to or how you gauge the debate outcome, but overall, according to legitimate media outlets like Al Jazeera, Harris won the debate. Al Jazeera reported: "In the hours following Kamala Harris and Donald Trump’s first, and possibly last, in-person face-off, political commentators and unofficial polls seemed to largely crown her the winner of the night. A CNN poll revealed that debate watchers declared Harris a winner by a comfortable 63-37 margin. A YouGov poll had Harris winning by 43-28 among registered voters. Even pundits at Fox News, the conservative TV network, agreed she bested Trump."

I like that you used two credible sources. And you even referenced Fox News and stated that they also said Harris beat Trump, however I wish you would've linked where you found that information.

I was very skeptical originally seeing that this claim was confirmed, being that winning a presidential debate is very subjective. However, the use of both non-bias sources as well as a considered right-skewed source verifies the claim. I think it would be beneficial if you included the bias ratings of each source used.
