The ABC News presidential debate starts right now.
Kamala Harris, what's up?
Good debate.
You see, you have fun.
Thank you.
Do you believe Americans are better off than they were
four years ago?
I believe in the ambition, the aspirations, the dreams of
the American people.
And that is why I imagine and have actually a
plan to build what I call an opportunity economy.
Because here's the thing, we know that we have a
shortage of homes and housing and the cost of housing
is too expensive for far too many people.
We know that young families need support to raise their
children.
And I intend on extending a tax cut for those
families of $6000, which is the largest child tax credit
that we have given in a long time.
My opponent, on the other hand, his plan is to
do what he has done before, which is to provide
a tax cut for billionaires and big corporations, which will
result in $5 trillion to America's deficit.
We're doing tariffs on other countries.
Other countries are going to finally, after 75 years, pay
us back for all that we've done for the world.
Look, we've had a terrible economy because inflation has, which
is really known as a country Buster.
It breaks up countries.
We have inflation like very few people have ever seen
before.
Probably the worst in our nation's history.
We were at 21%, but that's being generous because many
things are 506070 and 80% higher than they were just
a few years ago.
They have and she has destroyed our country with policy.
That's insane.
Almost policy that you'd say they have to hate our
country and President Trump.
You've often touted that you were able to kill Roe
V Wade last year you said that you were proud
to be the most pro-life president in American history.
For 52 years, they've been trying to get Roe V.
Wade into the States and through the genius and and
heart and strength of six Supreme Court justices, we were
able to do that.
Now, I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest and
life of the mother.
I believe strongly in it.
Ronald Reagan did also.
The majority of Americans believe in a woman's right to
make decisions about her own body.
And that is why in every state where this issue
has been on the ballot, in red and blue states,
both the people of America have voted for freedom.
Vice president, Excuse me, I have to respond.
Another lie.
It's another lie.
I have been a leader on IVF, which which is
fertilization.
You should ask, will she allow abortion in the eighth
month, 9th month, 7th month?
Come on.
OK, would you do that?
Why don't you ask her that question?
That's the question.
Because under Roe V Wade, you could, you could do
abortions in the seventh month, the 8th month, the 9th
month.
And he's going to talk about immigration a lot tonight,
even when it's not the subject that is being raised.
And I'm going to actually do something really unusual.
And I'm going to invite you to attend one of
Donald Trump's rallies because it's a really interesting thing to
watch.
And what you will also notice is that people start
leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.
And I will tell you the one thing you will
not hear him talk about is you.
She said people start leaving.
People don't go to her rallies.
There's no reason to go.
And the people that do go, she's bussing them in
and paying them to be there and then showing them
in a different light so she can't talk about that.
People don't leave my rallies.
We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in
the history of politics, what they have done to our
country by allowing these millions and millions of people to
come into our country and look at what's happening to
the towns all over the United States in Springfield.
They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're
eating the cats.
They're eating, they're eating the pets of the people that
live there.
And this is what's happening in our country.
And it's a shame.
The people on television say my dog was taken and
used for food.
I'm not taking this from, but the people on television
saying the dog was eaten by the people that went
there.
Again, the Springfield city manager says there's no evidence of
that.
Vice President Harris, I'll let you respond to the rest
of what you've heard.
You talk about extreme.
Why do you believe it's appropriate to weigh in on
the racial identity of your opponent?
I don't, and I don't care.
I don't care what she is.
I don't care.
No.
I mean, all I can say is I read where
she was not black that she put out, and I'll
say that.
And then I read that she was black.
And that's OK.
Either one was OK with me.
That's up to her.
I mean, honestly, I think it's a tragedy that we
have someone who wants to be president who has consistently
over the course of his career attempted to use race
to divide the American people.
You know, I do believe that the vast majority of
us know that we have so much more in common
than what separates us.
And we don't want this kind of approach that is
just constantly trying to divide us and especially by race.
Millions of people let in.
And all over the world, crime is down all over
the world, except here.
Crime here is up and through the roof.
Well, I think this is so rich coming from someone
who has been prosecuted for national security crimes, economic crimes,
election interference, has been found liable for sexual assault and
his next big court appearance is in November at his
own criminal sentencing.
She was big on to fund the police in Minnesota.
She went out.
Wait a minute.
I'm talking now, if you don't mind, please.
Does that sound familiar?
Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people.
So let's be clear about that.
And clearly, he is having a very difficult time processing
that.
But we cannot afford to have a president of the
United States who attempts, as he did in the past,
to upend the will of the voters in a free
and fair election.
And I'm going to tell you that I have travelled
the world as vice president of the United States, and
world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump.
I have talked with military leaders, some of whom worked
with you, and they say you're a disgrace.
And when you then talk in this way in a
presidential debate and deny what over and over again are
court cases you have lost because you did in fact
lose that election.
It leads one to believe that perhaps we do not
have in the candidate to my right the temperament or
or the ability to not be confused about fact.
That's deeply troubling and the American people deserve better.
I'll give you one minute to respond, Mr.
President, Let me just say about world leaders, Viktor Orban,
one of the most respected men, they call him a
strong man.
He's a, she's a tough person, smart Prime Minister of
Hungary.
They said, why is the whole world blowing up three
years ago?
It wasn't.
Why is it blowing up?
He said because you need Trump back as president.
We're playing with World War 3:00 and we have a
president that we don't even know if he's where is
our president.
We don't even know if he's a president.
And just to clarify here, threw him out of a
campaign like a dog.
We don't even know is he our president.
But we have a president, Mr.
President, that doesn't know he's alive.
I want to get your thoughts on support for Ukraine
in this moment.
But also, as commander in chief, if elected, how would
you deal with Vladimir Putin?
Well, first of all, it's important to remind the former
president, you're not running against Joe Biden, you're running against
me.
I believe the reason that Donald Trump says that this
war would be over within 24 hours is because he
would just give it up.
Someone who cares about you and is not putting themselves
first.
I intend to be a president for all Americans and
focus on what we can do over the next 10
and 20 years to build back up our country by
investing right now in you, the American people.
So she just started by saying she's going to do
this, she's going to do that, she's going to do
all these wonderful things.
Why hasn't she done it?
She's been there for 3 1/2 years.
They've had 3 1/2 years to fix the border.
They've had 3 1/2 years to create jobs and all
the things we talked about.
Why hasn't she done it?
