It's possible that the debate we saw Tuesday night will be the only time Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will be on the same stage together until the election in early November.
Based on what he saw at the Philadelphia debate, pollster Frank Luntz has made an election prediction that shouldn't really excite the Democrats all that much, but I'll get to why in a minute:

Considering the fact that it was Harris and two moderators against just Trump I didn't think he performed all that bad -- certainly not in a way that was enough to sway the election one way or another.
However, the pro-Harris account "Kamala wins" seemed pretty excited about the "stunning moment" when Luntz predicted a Harris election victory based solely on the debate:

It appears that undecided voters (how somebody could still be undecided at this point is beyond me) saw the debate differently than Luntz.

The Harris campaign might want to hold off popping the cork on a bottle of election victory champagne for now, because I couldn't help but remember Luntz's 2016 election prediction:
In case I wasn't clear enough from my previous tweets:

Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States. #ElectionNight
Hopefully on election night we get a pivot from Luntz similar to the one he made when something became clear on election night in 2016:
Surprising no one, I now think Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States.#ElectionNight

I'm looking forward to retweeting that one on election night in a few weeks.
The only person more optimistic about a Hillary win in 2016 was... Hillary:
