Trump vs Harris Presidential Debate: Candidates go on attack in zinger-filled showdown

From abortion to the economy, Israel and Gaza to fracking, border security to domestic crime, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump offered many plans and claims during the debate tonight.

Trump repeated a false claim that Haitian migrants are eating pets in Ohio, which the city in question has said is false. Harris claimed Trump will sign a national abortion ban if he is re-elected, which he has not said he will do.

Harris slammed Trump on his foreign policy issues contending that he is "weak and wrong on national security and foreign policy."

"It is well known that he admires dictators, wants to be a dictator on Day One, according to himself," she said.

"It is absolutely well known that these dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again because they're so clear they can manipulate you with flattery and favors," she added. "And that is why so many military leaders, who you have worked with, have told me you are a disgrace."

It's clear that Harris came into the debate with a playbook of relentless attacks on Trump.

On Trump's false claims he won the 2020 race, she said he lacks the ability "to not be confused by fact." And on foreign policy, she claimed "it is absolutely well known that these dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again" because they can "manipulate you with flattery and favors."

The Israel-Hamas war is one of the most politically divisive issues for Democrats, and Harris has largely adopted President Joe Biden's stance on the issue in trying to balance unwavering support for Israel's security while also condemning the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

"What we know is that this war must end," she said. "It must end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a cease-fire deal and we need the hostages. And so we will continue to work around the clock on that."
