Residents in the US city of Pittsburgh, in the key presidential swing state of Pennsylvania, are split ahead of the first televised debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The debate will take place in Philadelphia, also in Pennsylvania, with both candidates recognising how crucial the state's support is in securing the White House in November. Much has been made of the candidates' different styles, with Trump under pressure to rein in his aggression and Harris needing to reach out to undecided voters with policy.

00:00As far as the electric goes,
00:29there's no question in my mind that myself and my wife will be voting for Kamala Harris.
00:38The opponent, Mr. Trump, is bad news for this country, I think.
00:47I feel kind of torn in between the two, but what's best for me and everybody, I believe, is Republicans.
00:56For the past couple years, we've had Democrats in office, and it's like prices went up.
01:03Everything just skyrocketed and went haywire.
01:26Well, me and probably about 80% of my friends and acquaintances are going to be voting for Harris.
01:42But honestly, for Pennsylvania, I'm not entirely sure, but my gut tells me it's going Pittsburgh and Philly for Harris.
01:49Everywhere else is probably going to fall Trump, which is typical.
01:52There have been some articles about Republicans registering more voters, but when women vote, Democrats win,
02:00and I think there's going to be a big women turnout this election.
02:04Trump is Trump, so I like him because he's very outspoken, so we know what to expect from Trump.
02:15And it's definitely more or less the wallet part of things.
02:21I need lower taxes. I get way too much taken out of a check each week.
