Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump engaged in their first debate of the 2024 presidential race in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. The debate marked their first in-person meeting of the campaign. Following the debate, Trump claimed a boost in the polls, citing Rasmussen, which showed him up by six points. Trump also criticized Harris's record as a prosecutor and her policies on crime and immigration, topics he did not address during the debate. Harris, on the other hand, was reported to have gained an average of four points in five new polls post-debate. Both campaigns are now navigating divergent paths as they move forward in the election cycle.
