Trending searches: what time is presidential debate
starts right now. We now turn to the race to the White House here for the first time. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump shaking hands before the ABC news presidential debate. This greeting marked a pivotal point in the 2024 elections. Good morning.

Understand, if Donald Trump were to be reelected, he will sign a national abortion ban. What she says is an absolute lie. And as far as the abortion ban, no, I'm not in favor of abortion ban. But it doesn't matter because this issue has now been taken over by the states. So what big headline, though, came immediately after the debate when Taylor Swift posted this, announcing she will be casting her vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, she wrote I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos and Swift signed it with love and hope, Taylor Swift, childless cat lady, of course, in reference to something Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance had said. The next debate October 1st. That's when the vice presidential candidates
