Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris recently participated in a highly anticipated presidential debate moderated by ABC News. Following the debate, Trump declared victory, citing support from independent voters, moderates, Republicans, and working people. He emphasized his clear vision for the nation. Trump also addressed claims made by Harris during the debate, particularly on the topic of abortion, denying that Republicans want to track pregnancies. Harris, on the other hand, called for a second debate and responded to Trump's remarks with laughter. A new Reuters/Ipsos national poll shows Harris leading Trump 47% to 42%. Trump has since held his first rally post-debate in Tucson, Arizona, where notable figures like Joe Arpaio and Kari Lake were present. Allegations have surfaced that the debate questions were leaked to Harris beforehand. Trump likened the situation to a prizefighter wanting a rematch.
