Fiery Moments From the Trump-Harris Debate

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris enter Tuesday’s debate in search of the same goal – a moment that will help them gain the edge in a race polls show is essentially tied. The challenges each faces to secure that edge are starkly different as they take the stage in Philadelphia at 9 p.m. local time, potentially their only face-to-face showdown with less than two months until Election Day. #harris #trump #kamalaharris #donaldtrump #debate #election #philadelphia #politics

Trump in his third run for the presidency is a well-defined, albeit polarizing figure, for voters. Some allies want to see him focus on policy and avoid personal attacks, holding out hope he can demonstrate presidential behavior and ease concerns among voters over returning the former president and now convicted felon to power.

For Harris, the challenge is to address concerns from voters who say they don’t know enough about her or her policies, and for those skeptical President Joe Biden’s No. 2 can be an agent for change. Millions of Americans are expected to watch, making the debate her best chance to define her image.

Abortions after birth?? You mean murder?😂

It's not really boring when you get to watch a stand up comedian on stage free of charge.

[buggzy.]

We Americans like entertainment and we are getting one 😂

[MargaretRooney-hx]

You know Putin is laughing his head off

[christianeck]

I feel like going to a trump rally has to be the most patriotic high feeling ever

[randalljones]

It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks about this debate… Kamala will not become president.

[faykguru]

OH MY GOD - WE NEED TO OUTLAW ABORTIONS AFTER BIRTH.

[TooStronk]

Bahahhaha kamala man hasn't answered any questions

[atrumluminarium]

These comments are wild, the guy is losing his shit and people are encouraging it 😅

[quadyrhames]

I just wondered why Trump couldn't look Harris in the eyes.

[LeChairman]

The Republican Party had such a great history up until this point. How do we go from Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan to this thing? Somehow, his followers were deluded into believing they have any commonality with the greats

[faithrawlings]

The best part is she not only proved herself as a strong candidate with her answers and propositions, she baited him into giving the most hilarious mess of responses. It was fun to watch, and she has my vote.

[aztro]

"In Springfield, theyre eating the dogs!"

Yeah he definitely lost at that point, not only the debate but lost all touch and sight of reality.

[emmanuelsello]

When focus is on facts and not fiction, it interests the electorate.

[Electrolotii]

« Eating the pets » ?! I think he can’t remember he’s in America

[Mrttansamman]

I would go to her rallies but they never have one. Ive been to trump rallies and nobody left. Everyone was nice and having a great time.

[theyarmgambletyg]

yeah trolls trying hard in comment sections but he a clown

[romanb]

Donald Trump sneaks into the room like a schoolboy who is about to have his ears pulled by the teacher!

[Cryptosporidium]

See, Trump did not answer the veto question, however they press him to answer but Harris didn't answer the month limit question and they immediately interrupt and say ok we're moving on.

I'd like to apply to become his PR practitioner... not because I'm for/against him. It would be to try saving the American people from comments like "They're eating the dogs." His PR needs to get on him for this mess. It's ridiculous!
