00:00There's a good reason Donald Trump and Kamala Harris had never met before today's debate.
00:08Donald Trump refused to concede he'd lost the 2020 election, he would not invite Harris
00:13and Biden to the White House during the transition, and Trump left town rather than attend their
00:19inauguration.
00:20But this debate was not about introducing Harris to Trump.
00:24It was Harris's introduction to the American people.
00:28For the first time, a woman of colour was on that debate stage, asking to be the Commander-in-Chief
00:34of the American people.
00:35Could she stand toe-to-toe with the unpredictable showman who defeated Hillary Clinton, the
00:41first woman nominated to the presidency?
00:43And also saw off President Joe Biden, who looked so frail and feeble in their June debate.
00:48Could Harris look like a president?
00:51We'll know the ultimate answer to that in November, of course, but for now, polls show
00:55almost two-thirds of American viewers think that Harris won this debate.
