Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Clash in Heated Presidential Debate
Kamala Harris challenged Donald Trump in a fiery presidential debate, covering issues such as health care, immigration, and abortion. While Harris put Trump on the defensive, Trump's response was filled with rebuttals. The debate's outcome seemed to favor Harris, who has seen a boost in her campaign's momentum.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris put her Republican rival Donald Trump on the defensive during a combative presidential debate, attacking his fitness for office, stance on abortion, and various legal problems. Former prosecutor Harris, 59, controlled the debate early, provoking Trump into making a series of false statements.
At one point, she mentioned that people leave Trump's rallies early out of boredom, to which Trump angrily boasted about the size of his rallies. This led to a bizarre claim about immigrants eating pets, a rumor he amplified at the debate. Harris dismissed these claims as extreme and kept the focus on Trump's shortcomings.
The candidates clashed on multiple topics, but Harris' assertive approach put significant pressure on Trump. Following the debate, Harris saw an increase in her odds of winning according to predicting markets. Trump, despite claiming victory, seemed shaken and uncertain about engaging in a second debate.
