In their highly anticipated first presidential debate, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris sparred over a range of issues, showcasing their differing political ideologies and approaches to governance.
The debate kicked off with Harris egging on Trump about crowd sizes, a topic that has been a contentious issue for Trump throughout his political career. Trump, on the other hand, sought to take Harris to task for changing her political positions, highlighting what he perceives as inconsistencies in her beliefs.
As the debate progressed, tensions continued to rise, with both candidates engaging in a fiery back and forth exchange. Trump was fact-checked multiple times by moderator Damian Paletta, who highlighted inaccuracies in the former president’s statements.
Throughout the debate, both candidates also offered non-answers to some of the questions posed to them, leaving viewers wondering about their specific policy proposals and plans for the future.
Looking ahead, it remains unclear what the next steps will be for both candidates as they continue to campaign for the presidency. The debate highlighted the stark differences between Trump and Harris, setting the stage for what is sure to be a contentious election season.

Trump 2024
David Muir conveniently intentionally left out the most important part of what Trump said on j6, to Peacefully and Patriotically protest, that's an important part to leave out and it was done intentionally and that's why David Muir and ABC are biased.
This clip may be the most egregious example of ABC debate moderators' direct actions/inactions to affect viewers’ perceptions of the information presented at the debate.
There are at least seven instances of this within a two-minute span.
This is not “bias."
It’s much worse.
This is direct, planned interference in the debate outcome. When moderators take on the role of “fact checkers" the inference is that the absence of a “fact check” confers validity to the non-fact-checked information.
When one side is repeatedly “fact checked,” while the other is not, that is a signal to the viewer that one side is not reliable and truthful, while the other side is.
The ABC moderators had their orders, and here you see those orders executed.
In this clip:
1) Trump says Pelosi is responsible for security at the Capitol. True. Muir intervenes on Kamala’s behalf by cutting him off with snarky retort, doesn’t acknowledging the validity of Trump’s statement, and immediately redirects to Kamala to set up her “answer" he knows is coming. This is direct action by Muir to affect the outcome of this exchange.
2) Kamala says she was at the Capitol on J6. She was there in the morning, but left to go to DNC HQ prior to the riot. Critical information is omitted. No fact-check.
3) Kamala says Trump incited a mob to attack the Capitol. False. Trump’s “peacefully and patriotically” comments are ignored. Trump is not charged with inciting violence. No fact check.
4) Kamala says that “some" police officers died on January 6. False. No fact check.
5) Kamala recites the Charlottesville “Fine People” hoax. This has been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked. No fact check.
6) Kamala recites the “stand back and stand by” hoax. This is designed to infer that Trump was ordering a “militia” to act on later orders, when he was clearly asking for a cooling of tensions. No fact check.
7) Kamala recites the “bloodbath" hoax. Trump was talking about the automobile industry, not violence. No fact check.
To quote Megyn Kelly on the ABC moderators:
"They did exactly what their bosses wanted."
It’s painful, distressing rehearing Kamala de Ville’s negative comments against Donal Trump!!!! Trump was amazing, don’t know how he kept his cool in the very biased debate!!! ABC should be ashamed!!! Moderators are disgusting!!!
The Wall Street Journal – obective media I like you!
Kamala says
“ The policy about China is to make sure the United States of America wins the competition for the 21st century “
It’s not a competition 🤷
But that’s what Kamala thinks it is .
Nice earrings Kamala 🤔
Harris successfully baited Trump over and over again, but she didn't really answer any questions. Not that Trump did either. But I expected more from Harris.
ABC is absolutely disrespectful the American voters by helping Kamala. It proves she is incapable of doing anything on her own. This ardent left wing bias will destroy our country as we're viewed as a laughingstock.
haris BOO
The comments are wild. They fact checked him because of the lunacy of the claim. If someone told you NASA was in space, you’d have to fact check it on time, but no need to go right away, it’s a reasonable statement! This adult male screamed “they are eating your pets” and you’re mad someone looked it up right away😂
Harris was unique voting blocks she can count on this election, women want a woman president, Blacks vote race, Gen Z vote for free stuff like tuition reimbursement and child tax credits. Boomers would be best served with Trump presidency removing income tax on Social Security benefits but Boomers are only 20% of population, Boomers are not large enough population and will get abused by Democrats. Democrats are going after Boomers, while only 20% of population Boomers have 1/2 the wealth of this country $68 trillion and growing, Democrats want that money, basic premise of Communism is wealth redistribution, to take from the rich (Boomers) and give to the poor (Gen Z). Letting middle tax cuts expire, more than doubling Long Term Cap Gains rate, treat Unrealized Capital Gains as current income, Democrats are coming after us. When Congress reclassifies Unrealized Capital Gains as Income, what do you think states like California & New York are going to do with that, seems like state income taxes would seize on that wealth.
kamala let him get uppp 😭
They did leave the RNC early because he went on for 90 plus minutes talking about nothing meaningful!
Well, if you're alarmed on being debunked on a claim that's so far out there…. I mean I don't know what to tell you. The issue isn't the fact-checking, it's the moronic claim that led to it.
Kamala owned Trump right from the moment she walked right over to his lectern, shook his hand, and told him her name!
All the internet is talking about the biased sham ABC debate. All the way from Australia to India to England. Harris dodged the very first question. The moderators were clearly biased. Many people claim Harris did not show, as usual, what her positions are. I disagree. If you listen carefully to her closing remarks, it is clear. If you are dumb enough to vote for Kamala Harris, you will get more of the same or perhaps even worse. She is not only NOT apologizing for the mess the Biden / Harris administration created, she seems proud of it. I, for one, love my country and do not want to see it fall to communism. My vote is for Donald J. Trump. TRUMP 2024
Right Now. Do NOT wait. Tell all your family, friends, neighbors to get ready to vote for President Trump. Visit as many pages as possible and say the same. Talking is free, but the information is valuable. You do NOT want Kamala Harris to win the election. That is a no-go. We do NOT want a communist government. You have seen what they have done for the last four years. You do not want more of the same. You know what I am talking about. Censorship, crime, inflation, open boarders, drugs flowing in, illegal aliens taking jobs, homes and committing unspeakable crime. Wars, Wars, And more wars. You do NOT want Global Thermonuclear World War 3. Vote President Trump November, 5th 2024. Thanks.
Trump lost this one 😂
Haha. You're fired
