In the first TV debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump, which took place eight weeks before the U.S. presidential election, the two candidates engaged in a breathtaking war of words ranging from prices to illegal immigration.

Vice President Harris, who was in the first debate, did well, emphasizing the "future," and former President Trump, a debate veteran, even shouted at Harris' provocation.

Vice President Harris approaches former President Trump and asks him to shake hands first.

"Camala Harris. Let's have a good discussion." "Nice to meet you. Have fun"


Former President Trump, who looks somewhat embarrassed, shakes hands awkwardly.

As expected, former President Trump held the Biden administration, Vice President Harris accountable for inflation throughout the debate.

Donald Trump / Former U.S. President: We had three and a half years to solve the border problem, create jobs, all the problems we were talking about. What the hell did she do?]

Harris, who emphasized that she comes from the middle class, said she would be president for all Americans and would protect the values of freedom.

In Trump's response, he repeatedly shook his head and emphasized that it was a lie.

[CAMALA HARRIS / VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES] From the beginning of tonight's debate, you're going to hear a lot of lies from this friend (Trump), as always.]

From prices to illegal immigration, abortion and foreign policy, there have been sharp war of words, but Vice President Harris is said to have prevailed.

While he was unperturbed by racist remarks and hit the attack one by one, Trump, the seventh presidential debate participant, was rather excited by Harris' provocation and shouted.

After the debate, former President Trump said it was a 3:1 match due to the biased progress of the moderators, calling it the "best debate ever."

Harris, who did well in the first televised debate, is expected to secure a somewhat favorable position in the ultra-tight race.

His qualifications as a presidential candidate have been proven, but there is still a challenge to secure expandability to the middle class in the remaining presidential campaigns.
