00:00Finally, the much-awaited face-off, and perhaps the only presidential debate for the November

00:052024 polls, took place in the city of brotherly love.

00:10And there was certainly no love lost between the two, as sparks flew in their attacks against

00:15each other on inflation, immigration, abortion, national security, and foreign policy.

00:21The OA's Chief National Correspondent, Steve Herman, fills us in with more.

00:29Standing two meters apart, with no audience in the room, the two presidential nominees,

00:33who had never met before Tuesday night, had their first encounter, hosted by ABC News

00:40and simulcast on other broadcast networks to tens of millions of likely American voters.

00:46Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to those voters as much as she responded to the attacks

00:51from former President Donald Trump, setting much of her own course following President

00:56Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race.

00:58Clearly, I am not Joe Biden, and I am certainly not Donald Trump.

01:04And what I do offer is a new generation of leadership for our country.

01:08One who believes in what is possible.

01:12One who brings a sense of optimism about what we can do, instead of always disparaging the

01:19American people.

01:21Trump blamed Harris, whom he called a Marxist, for a surge in illegal migration into the

01:26United States.

01:27They've destroyed the fabric of our country.

01:31Millions of people let in.

01:32Trump, without evidence, also blamed Harris for Russia invading Ukraine, and the war in

01:38Gaza.

01:39She hates Israel.

01:40At the same time, in her own way, she hates the Arab population, because the whole place

01:47is going to get blown up.

01:49Arabs, Jewish people, Israel, Israel will be gone.

01:54For Trump, it was his seventh time on the presidential debate stage, for Harris her

01:59first.

02:00She said the Republican nominee is unfit to return to the White House, and there's a consensus

02:05about that among world leaders, except for the autocrats, whom Trump admires.

02:10You adore strongmen, instead of caring about democracy.

02:15Trump's surrogates in the spin room, such as Republican Congressman Byron Donalds of

02:20Florida, said Harris failed to articulate what she would do as president.

02:25Kamala Harris, all she did was attack him.

02:28She didn't talk about the policies.

02:30She didn't talk about her differentiations between her and the Biden administration.

02:34When Afghanistan came up, what did she say?

02:36A lot of nothing.

02:38Nearly a third of voters polled prior to the debate said they were familiar with Trump

02:42and needed to learn more about Harris.

02:44The debate flushed out a clear contrast between the two, according to a Democratic Party congressman

02:49from California, Ted Lieu.

02:51Kamala Harris was presidential.

02:53Donald Trump was weird and incoherent.

02:56Unless Trump and Harris debate again before Election Day, this may have been their best

03:01opportunity to try to sway the relatively small number of undecided voters in the seven

03:08swing states expected to decide who will become the next president of the United States.
