Top 10 Moments From the Second US Presidential Debate of 2024

in Minnesota she went out wait a minute I'm talking now you don't mind please does that sound familiar welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most buzzworthy moments from kamla Harris and Donald Trump's first Showdown the people on television say my dog was taken and used for food so maybe he said that and maybe that's a good thing to say for a city manager I'm not taking this from people on television saying their dog was eaten by the people that went there number 10 the opening handshake KLA Harris let have a good debate see you have fun thank you it's a time-honored tradition before presidential candidates rhetorically tear each other to pieces in hopes of being the United States next commander-in-chief they engage in a friendly handshake you know in the spirit of democracy and decorum and stuff so I was raised as a middle class kid and I am actually the only person on this stage who has a plan that is about lifting up the middle class and working people of America however when Donald Trump is involved that hasn't necessarily been the case Hillary Clinton dodged a trump handshake prior to a debate in October 2016 nodding at him in a polite but Bare Bones acknowledgement in Harris and Trump's case the former stroe over to Trump and initiated the classic handshake Trump reportedly wished the vice president quote good luck in response however what was to follow was anything but cordial first of all I have no sales tax that's a an incorrect statement she knows that uh 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 number nine you're running against me they're in for $150 billion less because Biden and you don't have the courage to ask Europe like I did with NATO it's been well reported that since Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race Trump and his team have been scrambling to readjust and recalibrate their campaign in a way that accounts for kamla Harris's sudden candidacy this was no more pronounced than in Philadelphia on this Tuesday evening I want to get the War settled I know zalinski very well and I know Putin very well I have a good relationship and they respect your president okay they respect me they don't respect Biden how would you respect him why for what reason early on in the debate Harrison Trump came to verbal blows over the latter's repeated invocation of President Biden's perceived ousting as the Democratic nominee at one point Harris explicitly called out the Trump campaign's biggest struggle indeed Trump is no longer running against Biden stoking fears among conservatives that he may be an unfit opponent for Harris 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 number eight VP Harris owns a handgun she wants to confiscate your guns and she will never allow fracking in Pennsylvania if she won the election fracking in Pennsylvania will end on day one we're not sure what surprised us more the fact that kamla Harris is a proud gun owner or that it's been a matter of public record for a number of years now when Accused by her Republican rival of intending to confiscate individuals guns Harris pushed back noting that Governor Tim Walls of Minnesota her running mate is also a gun owner I've made very clear my position on fracking and then this business about taking everyone's guns away Tim Walls and I are both gun owners we're not taking anybody's guns away so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff Kellen Browning writing for the New York Times pointed out that quote when she was running for president in the 2020 Democratic primary Miss Harris a former prosecutor said that she kept a gun for safety defending her choice by highlighting her choice of occupation to move on President Trump let's turn to policy please number seven Trump distances himself from Project 2025 number one I have nothing to do as you know and as she knows better than anyone I have nothing to do with project 2025 uh that's out there I haven't read it I don't want to read it for the uninitiated a quick primer this is the brainchild of conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation operating under the unitary executive Theory this posits that the president directly oversees the executive branch critics of project 2025 describe the initiative as a threat to Liberal democ democracy that aims to erode political accountability while Trump has repeatedly denied knowledge of affiliation with and contributions to project 2025 the Guardians Rachel line gang asserts that quote Trump well knows the Heritage Foundation and has spoken at their events and Kevin Roberts heritage's leader has previously said he and Trump have talked several times vice president Harris suggested the former president's involvement in the initiative which Trump once again strongly disavowed this was a group of people that got together they came up with some ideas I guess some good some bad but it makes no difference I have nothing to do everybody knows I'm an open book everybody knows what I'm going to do cut taxes very substantially and create a great economy like I did before number six Trump Harris and fracking so my values have not changed and I'm going to discuss every one of the at least every point that you've made but in particular let's talk about fracking because we're here in Pennsylvania as noted by sahil kapor of NBC News one area that kamla Harris has exhibited noticeable weakness is in quote the left-wing positions she took as a Democratic presidential primary candidate in 2020 that she has since abandoned or backtracked from these include quote Banning fracking mandating BuyBacks of semi-automatic firearms and decriminalizing border crossings I will not ban fracking I have not banned fracking as vice president United States and in fact I Was the tiebreaking vote on the inflation reduction act which opened new leases for fracking justtin warland and analyzing the debate for time noted that the September 10th debate represented yet another flip from Harris who claimed quote that she now supports fracking a technology used to drill oil and gas Wells after asserting in 2019 that she favored a ban of it this was despite President Biden's inflation reduction act which was quote estimated to provide $370 billion in support for emissions reducing programs my position is that we have got to invest in diverse sources of energy so we reduce our Reliance on foreign oil we have had the largest increase in domestic oil production in history number five I'm speaking fracking she's been against it for 12 years uh defund the police she's been against that forever she gave all that stuff up very wrongly very horribly in one of the debates admittedly more amusing moments Trump called back to a viral Harris line the Jab stemmed from her 2020 vice presidential debate with then VP and 2024 presidential candidate Mike Pence while attempting to respond to a question the current vice president was interrupted by the former vice president to which she politely but firmly asked Pence to allow her to finish her statement smash cut to wait a minute I'm talking now you don't mind please does that sound familiar criticizing Harris's supposed inability to remain committed to certain issues Trump brushed off an attempt by her to address said criticisms we can only speculate as to why the debates organizers made the choice to turn the candidates microphones off when they weren't speaking and everybody's laughing at it okay they're all laughing at it she gave up at least 12 and probably 14 or 15 different policies like she was big on defund the police number four Trump's comments on abortion vice president Harris says that women shouldn't trust you on the issue of of abortion because you've changed your position so many times therefore why should they trust you over the course of his campaigning for re-election Trump has often faced heat from all sides as to his positions on abortion as noted by NPR Sarah mccamon the 45th president quote repeatedly called for leaving abortion policy to the States but anti-abortion rights activists who make up a key part of the Republican base have called on Republican elected officials to work toward National Abortion restrictions the reason I'm doing that vote is because the plan is as you know the vote is they have abortion in the ninth month Trump went all out at the second debate baselessly claiming that Democrats supported abortions even after a baby is born Lindsey Davis one of the debate's moderators was quick to note that no such Act is legal in any state they even have and you can look at the governor of West Virginia the previous governor of West Virginia not the current governor is doing an excellent job but the governor before he said the baby will be born and we will decide what to do with the baby in other words we'll execute the baby number number three concepts of a plan Obamacare was lousy Health Care always was it's not very good today and what I said that if we come up with something and we are working on things we're going to do it and we're going to replace it the Affordable Care Act which Trump failed to shoot down in 2017 was a hot button issue during the September 10th debate as the New York Times noted while a poll of likely voters indicated that they needed to know more about Harris's policies the Democratic presidential candidate skimped on such details that said Trump was far off the hook either I inherited Obamacare because Democrats wouldn't change it they wouldn't vote for it they were unanimous they wouldn't vote to change it if they would have done that we would have had a much better plan than Obamacare while Trump had indeed put plans in motion to repeal that legislation the late Senator John McCain ended the former president's efforts in 2024 Trump falsely declared that he had single-handedly saved the Affordable Care Act and when asked if he had a plan to replace vaguely replied that he had quote concepts of a plan so just yes or no you still do not have a plan I have concepts of a plan I'm not president right now but if we come up with something I would only change it if we come up with something that's better and less expensive number two Harris's supposed operations according to former president Trump she went out in Minnesota and wanted to let criminals that killed people that burned down Minneapolis she went out and raised money to get him out of jail when Harris responded to the aforementioned question on fracking she declared that her values remain the same despite her flip-flopping on the issue being a matter of record smelling blood in the water Trump pounced declaring that quote she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison this is a radical left liberal that would do this health policy journalist Cheryl gay stolberg linked Trump's bizarre accusations to an ACLU questionnaire that Harris filled out when running for president in 200 19 stalberg notes that at the time quote she supported using taxpayer funds to give access to gender affirming care to transgender and non-binary people including those in Immigration detention and prison this is a radical left liberal that would do this before we continue be sure to subscribe

people that live there this is definitely a statement that requires a little bit of context in the days immediately leading up to Harrison Trump's faceof Senator JD Vance posted on X formerly known as Twitter that he had quote raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos All Over Springfield Ohio I just want to clarify here you bring up Springfield Ohio and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there uh he told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed injured or abused by individuals within the Immigrant community and that quote reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country police officers the city manager and even the mayor of Springfield have all reported that they are unaware of any credible evidence of this having taken place people on television say my dog was taken and used for food so maybe he said that and maybe that's a good thing to say for a city manager I'm not taking this from Tel people telion their dog was eaten by the people that went there which moment from the second US presidential debate
