[Anchor]
Fifty-six days before the U.S. presidential election, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump were held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a key state.

[Anchor]
In the first debate, the two candidates clashed on key issues such as economy and abortion. Let's summarize the atmosphere of today's debate with Lee Kwang-yeon, a reporter from the international department. Welcome.

[Anchor]
First of all, I was very interested in whether the two candidates would shake hands today, but they did.

[Reporter]
It was a matter of media interest whether to do it or not because he did not do it during the last debate with President Biden, but this is the first scene since the candidates of both parties shook hands in 2016. Then candidate Hillary and then candidate Trump shook hands, and for the first time, candidates from both parties shook hands. This debate was hosted by ABC News. It went on for about 100 minutes beyond the 90 minutes originally scheduled.

I was interested in what would happen because there was no handshake, as I said then during President Biden. Harris, the debate newcomer, first said, "I'm Kamala Harris." After shaking hands, the discussion immediately began without everyone saying anything. As I said earlier, the handshake between the candidates of both parties came out for the first time in 16 years, and it was a debate that promised that only bottled water, paper, and pens could be brought in the debate, and both materials and staff were banned. Candidate Trump, let's take a look at the local media reaction later.Ma seemed generally seasoned, but seemed to have lost his vitality, there were many responses like this. Candidate Harris launched an offensive by quickly pouring out prepared answers.

[Anchor]
You just explained the rules.There was a mute rule. There was also a war of nerves about that, but the two candidates showed a lot of contrast.

[Reporter]
If it wasn't my turn to speak in this debate, the microphone would be turned off. So it was a structure that I couldn't even intervene, and there was a rule that I couldn't mix words even during breaks in the middle. Candidate Trump, the screen was divided into two for those who watched it. On the left. This is what was promised. There was a Trump candidate on the left and Kamala Harris on the right side of the screen, but as on the screen, Harris was mostly looking at Trump, and what about Trump?

I mostly stared straight ahead. So, in the case of Harris, she is attracting media attention by bursting into laughter or shaking her head when she is muted and unable to refute it. He raised his eyebrows or lowered his chin and showed a face as if to say this is not true. In particular, Harris, a former prosecutor, is actively using it in the face of this presidential election due to the structure of prosecutors versus felons, and he also used it in this debate.

It highlighted that candidate Trump is about to go to trial. In the case of former President Trump, didn't he constantly say this to Harris during this presidential election? be on the radical left It's a bit rough.E. I've been attacking, but I haven't stopped attacking again this time.

[Anchor]
A tense war of nerves continued from the beginning, and the first question was economy and prices. I thought it would be a disadvantageous topic because Harris is the incumbent vice president, but how was it?

[Reporter]
In other words, the economic sector is a favorable topic for former President Trump, and I can see it relatively, but candidate Harris said he was a middle-class candidate and criticized Trump for siding with the rich and ruining the economy. He made a few keywords and launched a preemptive attack, while former President Trump argued that his universal tariff pledge would save the U.S. economy, saying that the Biden and Harris governments are responsible for creating the worst inflation ever.

[Anchor]
And in the discussion on abortion, they also raised their voices with each other.

[Reporter]
That's right. There are some big issues in the U.S. presidential election. The economic issues we talked about earlier, abortion issues, and border issues, we'll talk about them later. There are many problems, but the American voters probably judged who did better in this debate based on their values and political orientation. This scene will also be divided according to the voters' tendencies.Ma was the scene where they collided head-on, raising their voices that you were lying to each other.

A ruling that recognized abortion rights at the federal level clashed over its repeal by the Supreme Court. Candidate Harris called it the Trump Abortion Prohibition Act regarding women's abortion rights and attacked Trump for violating women's right to make childbirth decisions. Trump is not behind either. Even though they said they had never signed an anti-abortion law, the Democratic Party tried to counterattack by asking how many weeks of pregnancy they would allow abortion.

[Anchor]
During this discussion, pets such as dogs and cats were also mentioned. What's the word from?

[Reporter]
in remarks on the border Actually, I think this scene will be considered as the main scene. In addition to the economic issues mentioned earlier, immigration is a somewhat unfavorable topic for Harris, and we prepared two short remarks. Let's listen to it for a second.

[Reporter]
It just came out. The scene where Harris I mentioned earlier was muted and couldn't refute this issue, so I could see her shaking her head and saying it wasn't true for a short time, and you saw her strongly confronting the illegal influx of immigrants through the southern border. As you heard in the process, candidate Trump also exposed himself somewhat excited as he repeated his claim that immigrants eat dogs and cats. Harris, on the other hand, defended Trump for saying extreme things.

At the same time, he said that about 200 Republicans are supporting me in this presidential election. In this scene, they defended and attacked each other for lying. [Anchor] In fact, one of the most important reasons why we pay attention to the U.S. presidential election is the Korean Peninsula issue. Because who becomes president and how to deal with the Korean Peninsula issue varies. It must be this part, but Chairman Kim Jong-un's name was also mentioned in this debate.

[Reporter]
It came out like this. Vice President Harris brought up Kim Jong-un's name if he pleases a dictator. We also prepared a related recording of this part. Let's listen to it for a second.

[Reporter]
At today's debate, former President Trump didn't smile much, but he smiled briefly at this point. In the line of love letter. In fact, a few days ago, singer Elton John said in an interview that he recalled the nickname former President Trump has given Kim Jong-un since 2017, "I thought it was a little funny then." Vice President Harris criticized the two for exchanging love letters, saying, "Dictators such as Chairman Kim Jong-un want Trump to be president because they know it's easy to manipulate him."

At the same time, he criticized the military leaders who worked with Trump by raising the level of attack somewhat, saying they were ashamed of Trump. Trump also mentioned North Korea, but the result was different. China, Russia, and North Korea said they were afraid of Trump and fought back that they could regain peace in the world if they came to power.

[Anchor]
The war of nerves continued over the Gaza war, what did the two candidates say?

[Reporter]
Candidate Trump, who is well known for using very straightforward and direct terms, is attacking Harris by saying that she hates Israel. If Harris becomes president, Israel will disappear within two years. But he also said that if it were nagged, the war would not have happened.

Vice President Harris, saying this is absolutely not true, has also actively criticized former President Trump for trying to divide the country again. He added that I have supported Israel and the people of Israel throughout my career and life.

[Anchor]
The host broadcaster of this TV debate was ABC in the United States, and they were very active in fact-checking in the middle, and the anchors were very determined.

[Reporter]
There are similarities and differences with our YTN anchors, so the anchors probably saw it differently, especially during the abortion rights debate, when Trump said he supported Harris' execution after birth, and the two were the hosts. Female anchor Lindsey Davis even went on a so-called fact-check that no state in the United States legalizes the killing of babies after birth. What if we were actually involved in the politician debate, if we were?

[Anchor]
We have to check the facts, but I don't think it would have been easy.

[Reporter]
The two anchors must have thought about it.There were scenes where Ma was resolutely intervening. Another thing was that the crime rate is soaring. It was also a fact check for former President Trump, and anchor David Moore, a male anchor, immediately refuted Trump. Because of this atmosphere, the hosts had to intervene sometimes and have to check the facts.Ma said it was the best debate on the part of the Trump camp, but this reaction is coming out that they fought 3:1.

[Anchor]
There was a lot of comparison between the two candidates preparing for the debate, but Harris showed a hard work mode?

[Reporter]
So I set up a debate camp, wasn't it even to say that? Since the 5th, Pennsylvania has been one of the key contenders among the contenders, so the campaign was important, but I put it off and stayed in a hotel to minimize the public schedule and concentrate on preparing for the debate.

I've been working hard on preheating to adapt to the local area early. He also showed enthusiasm for a preliminary survey of the National Constitutional Center during the day from the local time when the discussion was held. It was also known that he practiced by setting up a stage similar to the debate hall and setting up a stand-in for former President Trump. However, former President Trump is already the seventh presidential candidate TV debate. As a veteran, he focused only on the campaign and showed a relaxed appearance.

[Anchor]
Who will this TV debate work as a plus after all. So what is the evaluation of this TV discussion, locally?

[Reporter]
First of all, we prepared CNN headlines. Shall we watch it together? The last debate was hosted by CNN, so I think it was a different media outlet, but this is the opinion of other media, but for now, Harris is generally responding favorably.

In the case of Fox News, even though it is a pro-Republican conservative media, it is almost Harris' victory. Can I see the CNN headline by any chance? First of all, I wasn't ready, but the headline was that Harris used Trump as bait in a controversial debate. It's similar to the title we've put on now. Trump took the bait. So, I think CNN sees that Harris attacked the weakness of former President Trump, who is good at excitement.

[Anchor]
I think we have to continue to see if there will be any additional TV discussions in the future. So far, we've talked with Lee Kwang-yeon, a reporter from the international department, about the TV debate for the U.S. presidential election. Thank you.
