Ending the Russia-Ukraine War is Trump’s pledge. “Putin Would Eat You,” Harris declares
US Elections: US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris sparred over a range of topics at their first presidential debate, which was broadcast by ABC News today, including abortion, war, the economy, and the housing crisis. With eight weeks remaining before the US presidential election, the Democratic opponent and the Republican nominee squared off on the debate platform. Following their introductions, Harris and Trump shook hands to begin the discussion, breaking an eight-year tradition of no handshakes on the platform of presidential debates.
It’s interesting to note that Ms. Harris made a point of introducing herself to Mr. Trump at their first meeting as leaders.
When asked about the economy and cost of living, two topics that are very important to voters, Ms. Harris mentioned her middle-class upbringing and her intentions to assist small companies and families if she is chosen to be the next leader. She took aim at Trump, claiming that he would provide tax breaks to “billionaires and big corporations” and reminded the audience of the state of the economy he had left when Joe Biden took over. Ms. Harris once said, “Donald Trump has no plan for you.”
When Trump attacked Harris during the heated discussion over the immigration record of the Biden administration, she said, “You’re going to hear from the same old tired playbook, a bunch of lies, grievances, and name-calling.”
“Now, let’s discuss what Donald Trump left behind. We have the highest jobless rate since the Great Depression, thanks to Donald Trump. We now face the biggest public health crisis in a century, thanks to Donald Trump. The greatest assault on our democracy since the American Civil War was left by Donald Trump. And we have cleared up Donald Trump’s mess,” the speaker said.
Trump once shifted to a disparaging personal statement. “She adheres to Marxism. She had a Marxist father.” Harris was observed grinning the whole time. The former president griped that, despite doing a “great job” during the COVID epidemic, he did not get enough recognition. “We did a phenomenal job with the pandemic,” he remarked.
Turning now to the crucial topic of abortion, Harris issued a dire warning: should Donald Trump win reelection, abortion rights would be outlawed. “She is lying,” he answered. When asked whether he would veto a countrywide abortion ban, Trump seemed to go blank. A bill like that, he continued, would never pass Congress.
Harris said that Trump will be discussing immigration extensively when the topic of conversation turns to immigration. She said that it’s “a really interesting thing to watch” when people go to Trump rallies. She said that people began fleeing the former president’s rallies out of boredom because he spoke about made-up figures like Hannibal Lecter.
A furious In response, Trump said that nobody attends Harris’s rallies. Subsequently, Trump spoke about a hoax on social media that claimed Ohio’s Haitian immigrants were consuming dogs. “The dogs in Springfield are being eaten.” The newcomers are consuming the kitties. They are consuming — they are consuming the locals’ pets.” Harris chuckled at this and shook her head.
Harris said that the comments were “so rich” coming from someone who had been charged with several crimes, in response to Trump’s criticism of the Biden administration’s track record on crime management. According to Trump, the charges brought against them show how the Department of Justice has been weaponized to attack political opponents. “I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things” (Democrats) they had said about him, he claimed, bringing up the July 13 assassination attempt. “They discuss democracy; I pose a challenge to it. They pose a danger to democracy,” he said.
As the vice president of the United States, I have visited the globe. International leaders find Donald Trump amusing. They call you an embarrassment,” Harris said, evoking an outburst from the outgoing president.
When it came to the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, Harris supported a two-state solution. If Trump had been President, the issue, he said, would never have come to this stage. He said that Harris despises both the Arab residents of the area and Israel. In response, the vice president emphasized her support for Israel and refuted Trump’s statements.
In a conversation on the conflict in Ukraine, Harris said that if Trump were president, Russian President Vladimir Putin would be in Kiev. Harris predicted that Trump will “give up” in response to Putin’s pressure. “Putin would be seated in Kiev, his sights fixed on Poland and then the rest of Europe. How fast you would give up for favors and what you believed to be a relationship with someone who is a renowned tyrant and would devour you for lunch.”
While Trump did not directly respond to a question about whether he wanted Ukraine to win its war against Russia, he did state that he wanted the conflict to end. “I think it’s in the US’ best interest to get this war finished.”
In response to Trump’s persistent attempts to link Harris to the shortcomings of the Biden administration, the vice president said, “You are not running against Biden.”
In response to the topic of why he had doubted Harris’s race, Trump said, “I don’t care what she is.” He said that he’d read she wasn’t Black. The “tragedy” that Harris refers to is Trump’s attempt to divide Americans along racial lines. She claimed to represent a new generation of leaders and to be neither Trump nor Biden. In response, Trump said, “Divisive” is the present government.
