Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced off in their first presidential debate ahead of the 2024 election. The debate, held on Tuesday, covered a wide range of topics and saw Harris attacking Trump on various issues, including people leaving his rallies. The event was marked by distinctly different portrayals of the country's state by both candidates. Post-debate surveys showed mixed reactions, with one survey indicating Harris won 63%-37%, while a Reuters focus group of 10 undecided voters leaned more towards Trump. Despite the contentious debate, Harris and Trump appeared together at the 9/11 Memorial, where they shared a civil handshake.
