Trump, Harris attend 9/11 memorial after fierce debate
United States Vice-President Kamala Harris who is the Democratic Party’s candidate in the November 5 presidential election and her challenger, former president Donald Trump were this morning at the same 9/11 memorial after a fiery debate.
It was the first of the 2024 US presidential election and both debated about policy but personal attacks also dominated the 90-minute event, according to a BBC report.
Harris said people usually leave Trump rallies early “out of exhaustion and boredom” but he fired back, saying people don’t go to hers in the first place.
Trump criticised Harris’s record on immigration and the border, and also her shifting policy positions.
Harris attacked him for “Trump abortion bans” and the 6 January attacks on the US Capitol.
The report notes that snap polls suggest Harris won the debate, but Trump said afterwards that she “lost very badly”.
The former president appeared on the defensive when he called into Fox News the next morning, criticising the moderators and refusing to commit to another debate.
With the election taking place on November 5, Harris is slightly ahead in national opinion polls – but key battleground states are very tight
