Vice president Harris try to walk a fine line between being a change candidate while fending off attacks from trump. The former president was repeatedly fact checked for it are curious. -- Inaccuracies. >> Let's have a good debate. >> The night began cordially. >> World leaders are laughing at Donald Trump. I have spoken to military leaders who say you are a disgrace. >> She got zero votes. When she ran, she was the first one to leave because she failed. >> They was their first face-to-face meeting. And their first head-to-head clash on the issues. >> I have a plan. $6,000 for young families for the first years of your child's life to help you in that most critical stage of development. I have a plan. >> She copied Bidens plans. It is like four sentences. We will try to lower taxes. >> The former president try to link Harris to Biden. >> She is biting. She tries to get away from Biden. >> Clearly I am not Joe Biden. And I'm certainly not Donald Trump. >> Harris repeatedly baited trump. >> They are so clear. They can manipulate you with flattery and favors. >> Highlighting his fondness for dictators to needling him about his crowd size at his rallies. >> I will invite you to attend one of his rallies. It is a really interesting thing to watch. You will see during the course of his rallies he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal lector, windmills causing cancer, and what you will notice is people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. >> People don't leave my rallies. We have the biggest, most incredible rallies in the history of all at the because people want to take their country back. >> For much of the night, trump was on defense, not answering if he would sign or veto a national abortion ban. >> Your running mate said that you would veto it if it came to your desk. >> I did not discuss it with him. We don't have to discuss it. >> He refused to say if defending Ukraine was in America's national security interests. >> I want to ask you a very simple question. Do you want Ukraine to win the war? >> I want the war to stop. I want to save lives that are being uselessly, people being killed by the millions. >> Just to clarify the question, do you believe it is in the best interest of the U.S. For Ukraine to win the war? >> I think it is the best interest to get the war finished. Get it done. >> He took no responsibility for his role in the January 6 attack on the capital. >> Is there anything you regret about what you did that they? >> I had nothing to do with that. They asked me to make a speech. >> Harris used that moment to appeal to undecided voters. >> It is time to turn the page. If that was a bridge too far for you, there is a place in our campaign for you to stand for country, for our democracy, for rule of law. And to end the chaos. >> Moments after the debate ended, Harris picked up a superstar endorsement on the Taylor Swift. In a rare move for a presidential candidate, trump went to the spin room afterward. He questions whether he would do another debate and said ABC should lose its license. >> It was a rigged to deal. As I assumed it would be. I think ABC took a huge hit last night. They have to be licensed as a news organization. They out to take away the license. >> Trump and the Republicans were quick to attack moderators for fact checking him. >> For vice president to pick says that abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine. He absolutely says execution after birth. Because the baby is born. >> There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born. >> And debunked conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants eating pets. One that has been peddled by far right activists. She traveled with trump to the debate. >> In Springfield, they are eating the dogs. They are eating the cats. They are eating the pets of the people who live there. >> He said there have been no credible support. >> I have seen people on television. >> She defended the moderators. >> That is kind of a softball. >> She is not immune. Trump required more immediate fact checking. He was repeating conspiracy theories to be false at this point. It is almost easier to call is out in real time. At ground zero today, disagreements were put aside. Biden and Harris stood just feet away from former president trump and running mate jd Vance as the nation remembered the lives lost 23 years ago. They shook hands at the remembrance. Tomorrow, the race is back on,
