Harris vs. Trump presidential debate: How did they do, and what happens next?

The U.S. presidential race remains tight, with all seven battleground states (PA, WI, MI, NC, NV, AZ, GA) within the polling margin of error. Both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are focused on energizing their bases and swaying undecided voters.

The recent debate between Harris and Trump, which drew 67 million viewers, highlighted key issues such as inflation, immigration, crime, and energy. Harris criticized Trump’s first term as chaotic and self-serving, while Trump attacked the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of current crises.

Early voting has begun, and with limited opportunities for national exposure, both campaigns will intensify their efforts through retail politics and media outreach. Trump has ruled out another debate, as both candidates seek to define their vision and secure support before Election Day.

The race is expected to remain highly competitive, with voter turnout and ground game strategies playing crucial roles in the final outcome.
