HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE DEBATE LAST NIGHT. ANGELICA. WELL, BOTH CANDIDATES WENT TOE TO TOE ON EVERYTHING FROM INFLATION TO ABORTION. >> WITH SOME PERSONAL DAYS FROM BOTH SIDES ALONG THE WAY. >> LET'S NOW WELCOME THE CANDIDATES TO THE STATE. A HIGH STAKES DEBATE KICKS OFF WITH A HANDSHAKE. KAMALA HARRIS. >> SOME THINK THEY SHOULD THANK YOU. >> FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS CROSSING PATHS FOR THE FIRST TIME AS THEY SQUARED OFF ON SEVERAL KEY ISSUES, AIMING TO SWAY UNDECIDED VOTERS IN AN EXTREMELY TIGHT RACE. THE COST OF HOUSING IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE. THEIR FIRST TOPIC, THE ECONOMY INTEND ON EXTENDING A TAX CUT FOR THOSE FAMILIES OF $6,000, WHICH IS THE LARGEST CHILD TAX CREDIT THAT WE HAVE GIVEN A LONG TIME, A LAB, NO SALES TAX. THAT'S AN INCORRECT STATEMENT. SHE KNOWS THAT. >> WE'RE DOING TARIFFS ON OTHER COUNTRIES. OTHER COUNTRIES ARE GOING TO FINALLY AFTER 75 YEARS PAY. AS BACK FOR ALL THAT WE'VE DONE FOR THE WORLD AND THE TARIFF WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL IN SOME CASES. THE TOPIC THEN TURNED TO ABORTION. I BELIEVE IN THE EXCEPTIONS FOR RAPE, INCEST AND LIFE OF THE MOTHER, I BELIEVE STRONGLY. RONALD REAGAN DID ALSO 85% OF REPUBLICANS TO DONALD TRUMP. >> HAND SELECTED 3 MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT WITH THE INTENTION THAT THEY WOULD UNDO THE PROTECTIONS OF ROE V WADE. AND THEY DID EXACTLY AS HE INTENDED WHEN IT COMES TO IMMIGRATION. TRUMP SAYS HE WOULD SUPPORT OF MASS DEPORTATION OF MORE THAN 11 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. WE HAVE. >> MILLIONS OF PEOPLE POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY FROM PRISONS AND JAILS FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS AND INSANE ASYLUMS AND THEY'RE COMING IN AND THEY'RE TAKING JOBS THAT ARE OCCUPIED RIGHT NOW BY AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND HISPANICS. HARRIS SAYS SHE SUPPORTS A BORDER SECURITY BILL. >> IT WILL PUT THOUSANDS OF MORE AGENTS IN PLACE BLAMING ITS FAILURE ON TRUMP. >> THAT BILL WOULD HAVE PUT MORE RESOURCES TO ALLOW US TO PROSECUTE TRANSNATIONAL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR TRAFFICKING AND GUNS, DRUGS AND HUMAN BEINGS. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT BILL? DONALD TRUMP GOT ON THE PHONE CALLED UP SOME FOLKS IN CONGRESS AND SAID KILL THE BILL. ANOTHER FOCUS OF THE DEBATE WAS HARRIS TAKING DIGS TRUMP'S CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS. >> PAINTING HIM AS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WOULD MEAN IF DONALD TRUMP ARE BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH NO GUARDRAILS BECAUSE CERTAINLY WE KNOW NOW THE COURT WON'T STOP. AND WE KNOW JD VANCE IS NOT GOING TO STOP HIM. >> IT'S UP TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I PROBABLY TOOK A BULLET TO THE HEAD BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME. THEY TALK ABOUT A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY THERE. THREAT. >> TO DEMOCRACY. >> MARCUS LESHOCK: NOW AFTER THE DEBATE, ONE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY'S BIGGEST STARS, TAYLOR SWIFT INDOORS, KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT HARRIS, SENIOR CAMPAIGN OFFICIAL SAID THE ENDORSEMENT WAS NOT COORDINATED WITH THE CAMPAIGN.
