The presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump opened with a cordial handshake but quickly turned combative as the two clashed over key issues, including the economy, immigration, abortion rights, and national security. Trump focused on criticizing the current administration’s economic performance, citing past inflation, while Harris promoted her vision of an “opportunity economy.” On foreign policy, both candidates debated the U.S. exit from Afghanistan, conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, and more. Post-debate, Trump surprised attendees by appearing in the spin room, while Democrats expressed satisfaction with Harris’s showing.
