In a highly anticipated debate, US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris clashed on key issues eight weeks before the election. Harris, a Democrat, attacked Trump's economic policies, saying they favor billionaires and big corporations. Trump, a Republican, criticized Harris and the Biden administration's immigration record. The debate saw a rare moment of civility as the two shook hands, ending an eight-year streak of no handshakes on the presidential debate stage. Harris emphasized her middle-class background and plans to support families and small businesses, while Trump targeted Harris with familiar criticisms. The debate set the stage for a contentious election season.
