PHILADELPHIA — Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are meeting face-to-face for the first time on the debate stage in Philadelphia, marking a pivotal moment during the final sprint of a close race for the White House.
"We have said over and over again the stakes cannot be higher," said Allison Prasch, an expert on U.S. presidential rhetoric at the University of Wisconsin.
"I've been on earth for 32 years and I don’t think any president has ever done anything good for me. So I just want to watch. It’s entertaining," Stuart said in Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon. The economy and each leader's legacy were front and centre as the debate kicked off with both candidates making a case for their starkly different visions for the future of America.
Trump quickly took well-known jabs at Harris saying “everyone knows she’s a Marxist.” He also criticized the vice-president's record on the economy with the Biden administration.Republicans said they were certain voters could see life was better under the Trump administration.
