Harris reached out first Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican candidate former President Donald Trump shake hands before the start of their televised debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The debate began with a brief handshake between the two candidates, followed by a heated discussion on the economy and prices. Vice President Harris claimed that former President Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy and tariffs would increase the burden on the middle class and lead to a fiscal deficit. Former President Trump countered that Vice President Harris was responsible for “the worst inflation, the terrible economy.”
On the issue of abortion rights, Vice President Harris strongly pressed former President Trump, criticizing his stance on banning abortions for victims of rape and other crimes as “immoral.” Former President Trump responded by saying that each state should decide on abortion laws, but avoided answering whether he would veto a federal ban bill if it passed Congress.
The debate was marked by a no-holds-barred war of words on most issues, including foreign policy and the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Vice President Harris dominated the overall atmosphere, repeatedly saying, “Let’s turn the page. We won’t go back.” Former President Trump, on the other hand, showed signs of losing his composure, often talking nonsense when pressed by Vice President Harris.
Both sides claimed they were the “winners” of the debate. Former President Trump said, “This is the best debate I’ve ever done,” while Vice President Harris stated, “We’re still underdogs, and this is going to be a very close race.” The impact of the debate on swing voters and swing states will likely be revealed in future opinion polls.
