the second US presidential debate of 2024 happened Tuesday night and something about it was different I just can't quite put my finger on it h oh yes Trump suits are rder blue this was apparently the first time vice president carela Harris and former president Donald Trump had met in person although you'd hope they knew each other's names already carela Harris up good be for Trump he had to show he could adapt to a new opponent for Harris she had to do better than Biden which meant saying a legible sentence in a short space of time in that regard each of them seemed to do okay even if Trump had to throw out most of his Biden jokes most of them president of the United States you'll get him out of bed you'll wake him up at 4:00 in the afternoon you'll say come on come on down to the office let's sign a bill as with the first debate microphones were live only for the candidate whose turn it was to speak a rule which the candidates adapted to by using the rest of their faces and he taught her well I have talked with Miller pick by the way for country and name calling when are these people from countries all over the world let's turn the page on this let's and also by just talking president Harris thank you let's turn to policy let move on President Trum let's turn to policy please a plan to defund the police former president has said something twice that I need to respond to I'm sorry we're we're going to move onid Trump this is as for the subject matter of the debate the candidates clashed on the economy abortion immigration foreign policy and the peaceful transfer of power once again bringing up the 2020 election are you now acknowledging that you lost in 2020 I don't acknowledge that at all I got almost 75 million votes the most votes any sitting president has ever got Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people so let's be clear about that and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that on the topic of abortion Trump repeated the same false claims that he raised when he faced President Biden that abortions are taking place in n9th month of pregnancy and that abortions were taking place after birth which brings us to a main difference from the previous round live fact checking which helped clear things up there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born although factchecking only works if everyone is working from the same set of facts President Trump as you know the FBI says overall violent crime is actually coming down in this country but me the FBI defra they were defrauding statements they they didn't include the worst cities they didn't include the city with the worst crime it was a a fraud just like their number of 88,000 jobs that they said they created turned out to be a fraud the candidates debated about the existence or non-existence of each other's plans Donald Trump has no plan for you and when you look at his economic plan it's all about tax breaks for the richest people many of those professors the top professors think my plan is a brilliant plan it's a great plan she doesn't have a plan she copied Biden's plan and it's like four sentences like Run Spot Run you now say you're going to keep Obamacare do you have a plan and can you tell us what it is so just so yes or no you still do not have a plan I have concepts of a plan I'm not president right now taking things to the world stage Harris attacked Trump standing as a global leader I I have traveled the world as vice president of United States and world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump but Trump had one leader who's not laughing at him hungary's far-right nationalist prime minister Victor Orban let me just tell you about world leaders Victor Orban one of the most respected men they call him a strong man he's he's a tough person Victor Orban said it he said the most respected most feared person is Donald Trump when it came time for closing statements Harris made it all about Harris I intend to be a president for all Americans and focus on what we can do over the next 10 and 20 years to build back up our country by investing right now in you the American people and Trump also made it all about Harris she's been there for 3 and 1/2 years they've had three and A2 years to fix the Border they've had three and A2 years to create jobs and all the things we talked about why hasn't she done it the worst president the worst vice president in the history of our country this may be the only debate between the two candidates and it's unclear right now what impact it'll have on the polling maybe the this entire debate won't move the needle anywhere near as much as one social media post will
