The Latest: The debate between Trump and Harris in Philadelphia has come to an end
The first, and possibly only, debate between presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump has come to an end
The first, and possibly only, debate between presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in the 2024 election has come to an end.
Tuesday’s event in Philadelphia gave Americans their most detailed look at a campaign that’s dramatically changed since the last debate in June. In rapid fashion, President Joe Biden bowed out of the race after his disastrous performance, Trump survived an assassination attempt and both sides chose their running mates.
Moderators from ABC, the network that hosted the debate, asked Harris and Trump for their stances on the economy, abortion, climate change and foreign policy, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas wars.
The debate Tuesday is the only one that’s been firmly scheduled and could be the only time voters see Harris and Trump go head-to-head before the November general election.
