With his impressive performance, Indian-American Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, appeared to come out as joint winner of the second tier Republican presidential debate, multiple news outlets and political analysts have said.
Fox News flash polls declared Carly Fiorina and Jindal to be the winners of the GOP’s undercard debate.
Meanwhile, Former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said that Jindal won the yesterday night debate.
According to the local Advertiser newspaper, Jindal delivered a solid, if less than spectacular, performance in debate.
“I’d probably place him right in the middle along with Rick Santorum,” said political analyst Josh Stockley of the University of Louisiana at Monroe’s.
In a statement, Jindal’s campaign manager Timmy Teepell declared victory.
We saw plenty of smooth talking and famous names running for President, but only one candidate in the race has the backbone, the bandwidth and the experience to get the job done as President? Governor Jindal.
— Timmy Teepell
