With just eight weeks remaining until Election Day, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have officially taken the stage for their first—and possibly only—presidential debate tonight. This highly anticipated event marks their first public encounter on stage following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race in July, a decision many believe stemmed from his previous debate performance against Trump.
Harris opened up about giving a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses and said, “I was raised as a middle class kid, and I am actually the only person on this stage who has a plan that is about lifting up the middle class and working people of America.”
While Trump stressed that his economy was great, Harris immediately said, ‘Donald Trump has no plan for you and he left the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war.’
Trump launched fresh new attacks on Harris during the presidential debate, claiming she has adopted his own political philosophy.
“I was going to send her a MAGA hat,” Trump remarked, adding, “It will be the end of our country. She’s a Marxist, everybody knows she’s a Marxist. Her father is a Marxist professor. He taught her well.”
Harris promises to bring back national abortion rights. She said, “One does not have to abandon their faith, or deeply held beliefs, to agree with the government and Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body.”
Harris opened up about her support for a bipartisan border security bill, which would have added 1,500 border agents and helped combat fentanyl smuggling into the U.S.
She said, “I know so many families watching who have been personally affected by the surge of fentanyl. That bill would have allowed resources to prosecute those for trafficking guns and drugs and human beings. You know what happened to the bill? Donald Trump got on the phone, called up folks in Congress and said, ‘kill the bill’.”
Harris, who seemed nervous at first, came back with a strong reply after she said ‘I grew up middle class’ for the second time. She stood strong against Trump and said,
“My work that is about protecting social security and Medicare is based on long-standing work that I have done protecting seniors from scams.”
Trump stressed about the border security issues and said ‘we need walls.’ He urged Harris to go back to Washington right now and close the borders and added “She has been so bad and ridiculous tonight.”
‘Trump Wants The War To Stop’
Trump was asked whether he wants Ukraine to win the war against Russia. He said, “I want the war to stop. It’s so much worse than the [casualty] numbers that you’re getting, which are fake numbers.” He also opened up about his friendship with Putin.
Harris added, “And why don’t you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favour and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch.”
