the American people are tired of the divisiveness and the hate that this president has brought to our country,” Harris said. “I’m running to bring us together, to unite us and to move us forward.” The debate touched on a wide range of issues, from healthcare to climate change to foreign policy. Harris criticized Trump for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, saying he failed to take it seriously and that his administration’s response was chaotic and ineffective. Trump defended his record, saying he closed the borders to China early on and that his administration’s efforts saved millions of lives. The debate also delved into immigration, with Harris accusing Trump of inhumane treatment of migrants at the border and advocating for a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Trump defended his administration’s policies, saying they were necessary to protect national security and that he would continue to crack down on illegal immigration. Overall, the debate highlighted the deep divide between the two candidates and the vastly different directions they would take the country if elected. Harris presented herself as a unifier who would bring people together and move the country forward, while Trump portrayed himself as a strong leader who would protect American interests and values at all costs. The choice for voters in November is clear: a return to the past with Trump or a new direction with Harris. The debate may have been their only face-to-face meeting, but the clash of visions and ideologies will continue to play out on the campaign trail in the coming weeks. It will ultimately be up to the American people to decide which path they want to take.\”
