Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris went head-to-head with former President Donald Trump in a heated debate, receiving the endorsement of Taylor Swift for her performance. Harris confronted Trump on issues ranging from abortion to democracy, accusing him of being friendly with dictators.
Trump, in response, criticized Harris on immigration and the economy, labeling her a “Marxist” and blaming her for the alleged failures of President Joe Biden’s administration. Both sides claimed victory post-debate, with Harris’s campaign challenging Trump to a second debate in October.
Amid mounting pressure less than two months before the election, Harris, 59, sought to make a strong impression. The debate saw intense exchanges on topics like abortion, immigration, foreign policy, and the 2020 election results. Swift praised Harris on Instagram, further boosting her momentum.
Swift endorsement
Taylor Swift threw her support behind Harris immediately after the debate, endorsing her as president and commending her leadership. The debate marked a pivotal moment in the election campaign, with both candidates facing off in a high-stakes showdown.
