Trump allies warned the former president not to respond to Harris's provocative remarks. At the same time, people close to him indicated that he understood the importance of it.
But Trump has repeatedly fallen for Harris' bait, including arguing with her about whether people leave his rallies early.
“His worst behavior is in plain sight,” one associate told CNN.
Trump's team and Republican allies have begun to blame the moderators, criticizing them for fact-checking Trump instead of Harris and arguing that they ask Harris softer questions.
CNN noted that this is a sign that his allies do not believe the former president will win these debates.
