Harris Commands Debate Against Trump

In Philadelphia, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump met for their first debate on Tuesday night. Harris rattled Trump with personal attacks, forcing him to defend his rally sizes and stances on key issues like immigration and abortion. The Harris campaign, buoyed by her performance, has called for a second debate before November.
On Tuesday night in Philadelphia, Vice President Kamala Harris faced former President Donald Trump for their first debate.

During the 90-minute session, Harris managed to fluster Trump by attacking his rally crowd sizes, his conduct during the Capitol riot, and critics from his own administration.

Harris continually forced Trump onto the defensive, preventing him from effectively addressing topics like immigration, the economy, and abortion.

She labeled Trump's proposed tariffs as a 'Trump sales tax,' and criticized him for his stance on abortion.

Despite discussing several strong points, Trump often veered off topic, struggling to clarify his positions.

The debate, moderated by ABC's David Muir and Linsey Davis, saw Harris concluding with an appeal to families affected by stringent abortion laws, further solidifying her advantage over Trump.

The Harris campaign immediately called for another debate, signaling confidence in their performance.
