The post had been liked nearly 2 million times within 25 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>A former prosecutor, Harris, 59, appeared to get under the former president&#8217;s skin repeatedly, prompting a visibly angry Trump, 78, to deliver a series of falsehood-filled retorts. t one point, she brought up Trump&#8217;s campaign rallies, goading him by saying that people often leave early &#8220;out of exhaustion and boredom.&#8221; Trump, who has been frustrated by the size of Harris&#8217; own crowds, said, &#8220;My rallies, we have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.&#8221; He then pivoted to an unsubstantiated claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are &#8220;eating the pets&#8221; of residents. &#8220;Talk about extreme,&#8221; Harris said, laughing.<\/p>\n<p>The candidates clashed over issues such as immigration, foreign policy and healthcare, but the debate was light on specific policy details. Instead, Harris&#8217; forceful approach succeeded in putting the focus on Trump, leaving her allies jubilant and some Republicans acknowledging Trump&#8217;s struggles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump missed an opportunity to stay focused prosecuting the case against Biden-Harris on the economy and border, and instead took her bait and chased down rabbit holes on election denialism and immigrants eating our pets,&#8221; said Marc Short, who served as chief of staff for Trump&#8217;s former Vice President Mike Pence. And when we listen to this kind of rhetoric, when the issues that affect the American people are not being addressed, I think the choice is clear in this election.<\/p>\n<p>Online prediction market PredictIt&#8217;s 2024 presidential general election market showed Trump&#8217;s likelihood of victory declining during the debate, to 47% from 52%. Harris&#8217; odds improved to 55% from 53%. In a sign of confidence in the debate&#8217;s outcome, Harris&#8217; campaign challenged Trump to a second debate immediately.Trump, who has spent weeks launching personal attacks on Harris including racist and sexist insults, largely avoided that pattern during the debate&#8217;s early moments but quickly became agitated under Harris&#8217; offensive.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/trump-harris-clash-debate-that-could-reshape-2024-race-2024-09-10\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/trump-harris-clash-debate-that-could-reshape-2024-race-2024-09-10\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/harris-puts-trump-on-defensive-in-fiery-debate-taylor-swift-backs-harris\/\">Harris puts Trump on defensive in fiery debate; Taylor Swift backs Harris<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6780,3873,574,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-harris","tag-trump","tag-us","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133671\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
