Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced each other on the debate stage for the first and possibly the last time. The Democratic vice president opened Tuesday night's faceoff with a power move, marching across the stage to Trump's lectern to shake his hand. "Kamala Harris," she said, introducing herself as the pair met for the first time ever. "Let's have a good debate." "Nice to see you. Have fun," the former Republican president responded. The exchange set the tone for the 90-minute debate to come: Harris controlled the conversation at times, baiting Trump with jabs at his economic policy, his refusal to concede his 2020 election loss and even his performance at his rallies. But on Tuesday night, both candidates stayed behind their podiums as instructed and there were no explicit jabs regarding gender.
Here are key takeaways of the debate and the allegations made by both Kamala and Trump against each other.
● DONALD TRUMP
No Immigration Policy: Trump was often on defense, but he did drive the core message of his campaign: Inflation and immigration are hammering Americans. Immigrants, Trump said, have "destroyed the fabric of our country."
● Trump amplified false rumors that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating pets ABC's Muir noted that local officials say that is not happening as he argued that the Biden-Harris administration was admitting dangerous immigrants.
