Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, who are running for the presidency of the United States, clashed fiercely in the election debate on the ABC channel. Here are the main points of the argument.
Aspiring President of the United States Donald Trump spread strange and far-fetched claims in the ABC channel’s election debate in the morning Finnish time.
Republican candidate Trump, for example, claimed that immigrants are eating people’s pets in Ohio. The claim has been shown to be baseless.
In addition, he said that the Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Waltz supports “postnatal abortions” and that the opposing candidate Terrible Harris wants to perform gender reassignment surgeries on immigrants in prisons. These claims have no basis in reality either.
The election debate between Trump and Harris progressed even more fiercely than expected. Trump, in particular, became more agitated during the debate, when Harris teased him about criminal convictions, the size of the elections and the treatment of the corona pandemic.
Trump, as expected, barked at the president Joe Biden and the Harris administration as an all-round failure. According to Trump, they have allowed inflation to run rampant and allowed huge numbers of immigrants into the country. Trump also sought to paint a picture of Harris as an extremist.

Trump still won’t admit his election defeat
In the debate, Trump had to account for the events of four years ago, when he refused to admit his defeat in the presidential election and lured his supporters to the Congress building in January 2021.
Watch the video how Trump answered the question about conceding the election loss.
Opposing candidate Kamala Harris said the response showed that Trump is still struggling to come to grips with his defeat.
Trump also denied that he had anything to do with the congressional attack, even as supporters marched on the Capitol after his speech.
Harris: Putin would eat Trump for lunch
In foreign policy, Harris tried to present himself as a continuation of Biden’s line. According to him, it is thanks to the US military aid to Ukraine that the president did not Vladimir Putin currently sitting in Kiev.
When asked again, Trump refused to say whether he wants Ukraine to win the war.
See in the video how Trump would solve the war in Ukraine and how Harris says that Putin would eat Trump for lunch.
Harris had to balance when talking about the war in Gaza. He said he supported Israel’s right to defend itself, but also called for an end to the war, which has killed Palestinian children and women.
Trump, on the other hand, claimed that Harris hates both Israel and Arabs. Neither candidate said concretely how a ceasefire would be achieved.
