Harris and Trump face off in intense debate
The presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump began with a handshake, but soon escalated into a heated exchange, as voters nationwide tuned in to watch. On Tuesday night, the two candidates clashed over various issues, such as the economy, abortion, foreign policy, and even the size of their rally crowds.
In the debate’s opening minutes, Trump and Harris went to battle on a key issue for voters: the economy. Harris outlined the recent economic policies she introduced in recent weeks, while Trump centered his remarks on tariffs.
During the square-off, Harris made many attempts to get under Trump’s skin, provoking him over his felony convictions and the 2020 election. This put the former president on the defensive an hour into the debate.
As the debate concluded, reactions were mixed, with no clear winner emerging immediately.
Democrats believed Harris effectively presented her policy proposals. Republicans, on the other hand, were impressed by Trump’s assertiveness and perceived him as having dominated.
With no other debates officially scheduled, this may have been the only time the two will face-off in an attempt to persuade undecided voters ahead of Election Day.
