00:00In the United States, the first and possibly only debate between the presidential candidates

00:03Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris took place on Tuesday, as thousands

00:08of citizens took to the streets of Philadelphia, the city that hosted the face-to-face debate.

00:16The first presidential debate between the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and the

00:21former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump took place this Tuesday, September

00:2610.

00:27The debate lasted 90 minutes and focused on issues such as migration and abortion.

00:34Trump said that Biden let dangerous people into the country and said that migrants come

00:38from asylums and prisons, and that they eat cats and dogs in border cities.

00:44Democrat candidate Harris introduced a bill and recalled that she has added 1,500 border

00:51agents, which has allowed her to stop the flow of fentanyl coming into the United States.

00:57Vice President Kamala Harris also said that Donald Trump left them the worst unemployment

01:02rate since the Great Depression, the worst epidemic in public health in a century, and

01:08the worst attack on democracy since the Civil War, and said that she and Biden have been

01:14tasked with cleaning up Trump's mess.

01:17She also recalled that Trump has been processed for national security and economic crimes.

01:23Regarding abortion, Kamala Harris said that more than 20 states have bans on abortion

01:28imposed by Donald Trump, with no exceptions for rape or incest.

01:34She said that Donald Trump should not tell a woman what to do with her body.

01:38She also mocked Trump, a very tense moment in the debate, because she said that people

01:43get bored and leave his campaigns because he always says the same thing.

01:50About the events in the Capitol on January 6th, she said that Donald Trump incited a

01:56mob to storm the Capitol, and that she as a senator and vice president saw it all because

02:01she was there.

02:03Something that made the former president very angry was the fact that Kamala claimed that

02:09many world leaders who have met with her openly mock Trump.

02:14Kamala alleged that Trump can be manipulated with flattery, and some leaders have done

02:18so.

02:19The former U.S. president says that the U.S. spends millions of dollars in Ukraine.

02:25He said that $250 billion or more, and said that it would be in the U.S. interest to end

02:33the war between Russia and Ukraine.

02:37On the other hand, Kamala said that Donald Trump is weak and wrong, and that he wants

02:42to be a dictator.

02:44On the other hand, Trump said that Kamala is a Marxist.

02:48In short, they have very different and even antagonistic positions expressed in 90 Minutes.

02:55It is likely that there will be another debate between the candidates, but nothing certain

03:00yet.
