In their first US presidential debate, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump accused each other of lying, clashing over the economy, immigration, abortion, and international matters, including Israel’s war on Gaza. Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halkett, joining from Philadelphia highlighted how both candidates made claims that were fact-checked, with The New York Times disputing some. Harris criticised Trump for attempting to repeal Obamacare over 60 times and claimed the Biden administration created 800,000 manufacturing jobs, though fact-checkers challenged these figures. Trump blamed Biden for enabling Iran to finance Hamas and criticised Harris’s abortion stance. Both candidates stretched the truth, and their demeanours were scrutinised, with Harris gaining more favour on social media despite initial nervousness.
