On Tuesday night in Philadelphia, Vice President Kamala Harris faced former President Donald Trump for their first debate.

During the 90-minute session, Harris managed to fluster Trump by attacking his rally crowd sizes, his conduct during the Capitol riot, and critics from his own administration.

Harris continually forced Trump onto the defensive, preventing him from effectively addressing topics like immigration, the economy, and abortion.

She labeled Trump's proposed tariffs as a 'Trump sales tax,' and criticized him for his stance on abortion.

Despite discussing several strong points, Trump often veered off topic, struggling to clarify his positions.

The debate, moderated by ABC's David Muir and Linsey Davis, saw Harris concluding with an appeal to families affected by stringent abortion laws, further solidifying her advantage over Trump.

The Harris campaign immediately called for another debate, signaling confidence in their performance.
