Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced off in their first-ever meeting at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, in what could be their only debate before the November presidential election.
The debate kicked off with a discussion on the economy, with Harris criticizing Trump for the state of the economy he left behind and promising to build an “opportunity economy” that would focus on the hopes and aspirations of the American people. Trump, on the other hand, praised his own economic record, claiming he had created one of the greatest economies in the history of the country.
The pair also clashed over abortion policies, with Harris highlighting the importance of reproductive rights and warning that Trump would push for a national abortion ban if re-elected. Trump, however, denied this claim and stated that he believes the issue should be left to the states.
The debate also touched on the controversial Project 2025, with Harris warning of the dangers of its policies and Trump denying having read the plan.
Overall, the debate between Harris and Trump highlighted the stark differences in their visions for the country and set the stage for what promises to be a heated election campaign.
