If you missed the historic Sept. 10 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, here’s a quick recap: Harris won.
Harris was strong, detailed and confident. Trump scowled a lot, squinted his eyes and was unable to control his rage at times. He refused to look at Harris, the Democratic candidate for president, throughout the 90-minute debate.
He accused immigrants in Ohio of eating dogs and cats, he refused to say whether he would veto a national abortion ban and declined to answer if he wants Ukraine to win its war with Russia.
Below are links to recaps and analysis of and opinion pieces about the debate, which was held in Philadelphia and moderated by ABC News.
