Kamala Harris pressed a forceful case against DonaldTrump on Tuesday in their first and perhaps only debate before the presidential election, repeatedly goading him in an event that showcased their starkly different visions for the country on abortion, immigration and American democracy.
What to know:
Key takeaways: Harris was eager to prosecute Trump’s glaring liabilities. But she also was tasked with re-reintroducing herself to voters. Trump was set on painting Harris as an out-of-touch liberal. He also tried to win over skeptical suburban voters — many of them women.
Major endorsement: Taylor Swift, calling herself a "childless cat lady," endorsed Kamala Harris for president in an Instagram post after the debate.
When is the next debate? There isn’t one scheduled. But there’s a vice presidential debate between Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz scheduled for Oct. 1 at 9 p.m. on CBS.
