US Presidential Debate LIVE: Trump and Harris go head to head; clash over Economy, Abortion and Immigration
Presidential candidates, US Vice-President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump, engage in their first televised debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. With the potential to influence voters' decisions, this debate holds significant importance in shaping the upcoming election.
President Kamala Harris and the Democratic nominee took center stage in a pivotal prime-time debate that has the prospective to reshape the course of the White House race. The Ninety-minute debate, hosted by ABC News, kicked off at 9 p.m. ET (6:20 PM IST) on the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. This historic event marked the first in-person meeting between Harris and Trump, taking place just eight weeks earlier than the vitally important November 5 election.
With the rival campaigns yet to finalize a second debate, Tuesday’s face-off may stand as essentially the most effective clash between the candidates earlier than Election Day. Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, are slated for a separate debate on October 1 in New York City, hosted by CBS News.
Neck-and-Neck Race
Polling averages suggest that the national race is neck-and-neck, with Trump and Harris closely trailing one one more. The battleground states reflect the same trend, with both candidates remaining within some points of each other, well within the margins of error within the polls. CNBC reporters are providing comprehensive coverage of the debate from an awful lot of of locations, including Washington, Philadelphia, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and San Francisco.
