In their first head-to-head debate, former U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris clashed on key issues, reflecting a tight presidential race. Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump in recent polls, with both candidates addressing topics ranging from immigration to the economy, abortion, and foreign policy.
Harris focused on defending democracy and criticized Trump’s criminal record, while Trump made unverified claims about immigration and the 2020 election. The debate also highlighted stark differences on the economy, abortion rights, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with both candidates laying out contrasting visions for America’s future.
