Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump for spreading falsehoods about abortion and immigration during a heated presidential debate on Tuesday. This marked the first face-to-face encounter between the two candidates, following Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race in July. The debate, held in Philadelphia, began on a cordial note, with Harris approaching Trump’s podium to shake his hand, acknowledging their lack of prior personal interaction. However, it quickly devolved into a contentious exchange, with Trump making bizarre claims about crowd sizes, immigration policies, and access to abortion. Throughout the debate, moderators fact-checked Trump’s statements, highlighting inaccuracies in his remarks about immigrants and other topics. The event provided a significant platform for both candidates as they prepare for the upcoming election. In the aftermath, social media buzzed with reactions to the debate, and notable figures, including Taylor Swift, publicly endorsed Harris, adding to the political discourse surrounding the event.
