Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump engaged in a combative debate covering various topics, including foreign policy, abortion, and guns. Trump made false claims about Harris’s father being a Marxist and the value of military equipment left in Afghanistan. He also falsely accused Harris of wanting to confiscate guns and overseeing job losses in manufacturing. Harris made misleading statements about U.S. troops in combat zones and Trump’s handling of the Afghanistan troop exit.
Trump falsely claimed that Democrats support execution after birth, and he spread false rumors about migrants harming pets. He falsely stated that the jobs created under the Biden administration were only “bounce-back” jobs and exaggerated inflation levels during his presidency. Additionally, he disavowed any association with Project 2025, a policy wish list proposed by the Heritage Foundation.
Overall, both candidates made misleading and false statements during the debate. It is important to fact-check and clarify the information presented by both parties to have an accurate understanding of the issues discussed.
