Harris, Trump trade barbs in fist face-off debate

The two candidates on Tuesday traded barbs over a host of issues including abortion, immigration, and the US economy. The debate was hosted by ABC News and was moderated by “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir and “ABC News Live Prime” anchor Linsey Davis.

The presidential candidates also leveled accusations at each other about their approach toward foreign policy and their personal dealings with foreign nations.

The protesters slammed Washington's unconditional support for Israel, demanding an end to the ongoing Genocide in Gaza.

The genocide in Gaza also heated the contentious debate, with Harris saying she is working around the clock to bring about a Gaza ceasefire.

Trump accused Harris of doing little to keep American ally Israel intact saying that under a Harris presidency, Israel would be "gone."

"She hates Israel. If she's president, I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now," Trump said. "Israel will be gone."

Trump questioned why Harris had not enacted her plans while in the White House.

“She’s going to do all these wonderful things,” Trump said. “Why hasn’t she done it? She’s been there for three and a half years. They’ve had three and a half years to fix the border. They’ve had three and a half years to create jobs and all the things we talked about.”

He concluded the debate by calling Biden and Harris the worst president and vice president in the US history.

Before the debate was even over, Trump’s campaign sent an email declaring “victory."

Meanwhile, pro-Palestine activists staged protests outside the venue of the presidential debate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
