Key Moments Of Trump v. Harris Debate Summarized

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced off on Tuesday for the first (and perhaps only) presidential debate between them. The debate was the first time the two had ever met, and neither wasted any time in getting stuck into the 90-minute slugfest.

Harris’ minimal debate experience was noted early on, with the Vice President focusing on rehearsed talking points in what.

ABC’s second topic of discussion was abortion – an issue which resonates strongly among liberal women. Although an advantageous issue for Harris, her comment that “the freedom to make decisions about one’s own body should not be made by the government” raised eyebrows given vaccine mandates under the Biden-Harris administration.

The debate itself featured controversial on-the-fly fact-checking by ABC’s moderators. However, while eager to dispute the claim regarding the consumption of pets in Springfield, OH, David Muir and Linsey Davis were silent following Harris’ attempts to connect the former president to Project 2025 and other issues.

There was also no fact-checking on the Vice President’s claims over Trump’s “bloodbath” comments, which the liberal media deliberately took out of context.

Despite claiming her values “haven’t changed,” Harris struggled to answer questions where she had reversed policy decisions such as scrapping private healthcare.

Trump’s strongest moments came in the second half when he disputed the Democrat’s “threat to democracy” claim by pointing out that she herself had not been selected by the party’s voters.

The deposition of Joe Biden was a recurring theme in the latter stages, with the former president arguing that his ex-rival was thrown “out of a campaign like a dog.”

Another weakness for the Vice President was her lack of action despite being in office for nearly four years.

Harris’ pledges to fix the country and bring “a new way forward” concluded her contribution to the debate.

Nevertheless, Trump capitalized and asked, “Why hasn’t she done it?” in reference to her policy pledges and tenure in office.

Man Joe Biden Once Described As “The Most Dangerous Vice President In American History” Has Endorsed Kamala Harris

Following Vladimir Putin’s lead, former Vice President Dick Cheney joined his daughter in supporting the installed Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris.

“He can never be trusted with power again,” he said in a statement. “As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”

Harris responded by saying she’s honored to have the endorsements from the Cheneys, calling them “well respected” leaders who had put country before party. “It’s time to turn the page on the divisiveness. It’s time to bring our country together, chart a new way forward,” she said to reporters. 

The Cheney family join an ever-growing list of political families crossing political divisions in the 2024 election campaign.

Both George W. and Jeb Bush have refused to endorse Donald Trump (which, ironically itself is an endorsement of Trump), while Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Malik Obama and much of Tim Walz’s family have broken away from their Democratic roots to support the former president.

Dick Cheney’s support for Harris is particularly interesting given how he was Joe Biden’s predecessor over 15 years ago. As Barack Obama’s running mate, Biden pitched his vision to the American people against then-Alaska Sen. Sarah Palin.

It’s safe to say Biden did not wholly approve of the man who is now endorsing his potential successor.

Back in the 2008 vice presidential debate, Biden blasted Cheney as “[having] been the most dangerous vice president we’ve had in American history.”

At the time, critics of the Bush administration accused Cheney of expanding his vice presidential powers to insert influence over foreign policy, most notably the Iraq War. Biden pledged not to follow suit, instead presenting himself in a more advisory role.

If you didn’t believe in the “uniparty” before – here it is right before your eyes.

Some on social media agreed with Biden’s comments about the dangerousness of Cheney, who once shot a Texas attorney on a hunting trip.

Others noted how Biden had aged over the past 16 years.

Kamala Harris Fan Says Anyone Endorsed by Russia Shouldn’t Be Elected… Less Than One Day Before Putin Endorses Harris

Vladimir Putin’s endorsement of Kamala Harris dominated social media on Thursday, September 5.

Speaking on the state-owned Russia Today, the Russian President said Joe Biden had “recommended all his supporters support Mrs. Harris” adding that “she laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that everything is fine with her.”

Whether it was a genuine endorsement, sarcasm, or even a ploy to encourage fearful moderates towards Donald Trump is subject to debate. Putin indicated that he believes Harris wouldn’t pass additional sanctions against Russia, unlike Trump, under whom Russia never encroached on other territory (unlike under Barack Obama and Biden). Nevertheless, Putin’s support for the Democrat was particularly ironic after years of Russian collusion claims by the party.

In a dramatic sense of irony, staunch Harris-supporter and comedian Jay Black made a comment hours before Putin’s endorsement.

“I’ll say this slowly so MAGA can understand it: If. Russia. Wants. Your. Candidate. To. Be. Elected. Then. He. Shouldn’t. Be. Elected [sic],” he wrote on Wednesday.

The following day, conservatives flocked to Black’s post to ridicule his comments.

Another commentor noted that Putin had previously expressed support for Biden long before his decision to stand down.

Liz Cheney Once Described Kamala Harris As A “Radical Liberal”

Former RINO Congresswoman Liz Cheney’s prior comments about Kamala Harris have resurfaced after she endorsed Kamala Harris for President.

Cheney, the eldest daughter of a man best known for accidentally shooting someone in a hunting accident, announced her support for Harris at an event in North Carolina.

“As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she told attendees at Duke University.

Despite a long-standing detest for the former president, Cheney has not traditionally expressed fond feelings for his Democratic rival either. Minutes after her announcement, the Trump campaign shared a clip from 2020 in which Cheney described Harris as “to the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren” and a “radical liberal”.

Meanwhile on social media, Cheney wrote on what was then-Twitter on August 11, 2020. “Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who would raise taxes, take away guns and health insurance, and explode the size and power of the federal government. She wants to recreate America in the image of what’s happening on the streets of Portland & Seattle. We won’t give her the chance.”

Many on social media noted Cheney’s humiliating primary defeat to a Trump-backed challenger in 2022 may have been a reason for her leftward rhetorical switch.

Others noted a correlation between Cheney’s decision and globalism.

Donald Trump To Create Government Efficiency Commission With Elon Musk If Elected

Donald Trump plans to create a government efficiency commission headed by Elon Musk he says will “eliminate fraud and improper payments” within six months of its formation if he wins the election on November 5.

Speaking at the New York Economic Club, Trump pledged to “create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms” following a suggestion by the X and Tesla owner.

“Fraud and improper payments alone cost taxpayers an estimated hundreds of billions of dollars,” Trump added. “As the first order of business, this commission will develop an action plan to totally eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months.”

Although the idea has been rumored for weeks, this announcement marks the first time Trump has publicly expressed support for the idea.

Reacting to the news, Musk, who endorsed the former president immediately after the assassination attempt in Butler, said, “I look forward to serving America if the opportunity arises. No pay, no title, no recognition is needed.”

Both Musk and Trump’s popularity on X paved the way for widespread support on the social media platform.

Others offered predictions for Musk within Trump’s administration.

Barack Obama’s Brother Malik Endorses Trump 2024

Malik Obama, the half-brother of former president Barack, has announced his support for Donald Trump.

The Kenyan national announced his support for the Republican nominee via X on Wednesday, September 4.

Malik has long been a supporter of Trump having endorsed him the previous two presidential elections. On Wednesday, he simply posted, “I am Malik Obama. I’m a registered Republican and I’m voting for President Donald Trump.”

Malik joins a growing number of Democratic families endorsing the former president. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly endorsed Trump at the end of August, while numerous family members of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz also expressed support for Trump.

Malik first announced Trump back in 2016 when he was still on the campaign trail, citing his disappointment in his half-brother.

Conservatives on social media held praise for Malik Obama.

Another user drew similarities to the aforementioned Walz family support for Trump.

Tim Walz Walks Away From Question On Murdered Hostages At Minnesota State Fair

Minnesota Gov. and Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz attended the Minnesota State Fair for the first time since being thrust into the national spotlight as Kamala Harris’ running mate.

The visit was a markedly different trip for Walz, with his campaign schedule and enhanced security protection limiting his usual freedom to enjoy the annual fair.

“I don’t get 12 days, which I normally get, and a little more of a disruption…. more disruption to the other folks, but it’s exciting. We’re getting to talk about Minnesota across the country,” Walz told reporters at the fair.

And he answered plenty of questions from reporters – none of which were actual questions. Instead, he got the usual softball questions that activist reporters lob at Democrats.

Except for one.

It was his response, or lack thereof, to a question about Hamas that ended up making headlines. Just hours before Walz’s visit to the fair, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that six hostages had been killed in Rafah after 11 months of Hamas captivity.

Despite being the running mate of the Democratic nominee and current vice president, Walz offered no response to reporters when asked for his reaction to the killings in Gaza, and instead immediately fled as if the question itself was an enemy combatant.

Social media users were quick to note his hasty retreat from the challenging questions.

Many were outraged by Walz’s refusal to comment.

Former Hawaii Congresswoman Joins Ever-Growing List Of Ex-Democrats To Endorse Trump

Former Hawaii Congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has become the second ex-Democrat to endorse Donald Trump in as many weeks.

The former Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee endorsed the Republican nominee at a National Guard conference in Detroit, MI. Her decision comes just days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign to also back the former president.

Kennedy noted  on Sunday that there will be more Democratic endorsements of Trump to come, noting that “Trump is going to make a series of announcements about other Democrats who are joining his campaign.” Elon Musk, who had historically supported Democrats had first endorsed Trump following the assassination attempt on the former president last month.

Gabbard, a National Guard veteran herself, acknowledged the “grave responsibility that a president and commander in chief bears for every single one of our lives” on Monday, August 26. She slammed the Democratic White House for bringing the United States into a situation where it is “facing multiple wars on multiple fronts in regions around the world and closer to the brink of nuclear war than we ever have been before.”

Gabbard’s endorsement of Trump is perhaps not unexpected. She was previously one the Democratic Party’s most conservative lawmakers, and refused to vote in favor of impeaching the then-president in 2019.

Despite running for the Democratic ticket in 2020, Gabbard left the party two years later amid concerns over wokeness within Democratic ranks. She has since identified as independent.

Her decision marks yet another blow for a Democratic Party whose critics argue has become too far left. While ex-Democrats line up to support the former president, the same can’t be said for Kamala Harris who has done little to attract anti-Trump conservatives.

Gabbard’s support also signals a show of unity behind Trump.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Affordable Housing Plan May Be Better For Millions Of Americans Than Kamala Harris’ Proposals

As the presidential election looms ever closer, attention is turning to an issue which affects tens of millions of Americans: affordable housing.

The inflation of housing prices has not been matched by an equivalent rise in median household incomes. The price-to-income ratio, which once hovered around 4:1 across the nation, has skewed in recent years with houses becoming ever more unaffordable for millions across the country.

Keen to earn the votes which will secure them a four-year term in the White House, presidential candidates are drawing up affordable housing plans to ensure more Americans can get onto the property ladder.

X user Omega Rio, known by his handle @GibsonAubr11146, shared a comparison between Democrat nominee Kamala Harris and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a $425,000 mortgage.

The Vice President is offering a payment plan where first-time homeowners received a $25,000 down payment from the federal government. Accumulating 6.5% interest, the monthly repayment will equate to $2,686 per month, with a total loan cost of just below $1million over a 30-year period.

By contrast, Kennedy’s payment plan does not feature a down payment. Instead, new homeowners will receive a government-backed loan at a 3% interest rate. This results in a monthly payment of $1,791 – just under $1,000 less per month than Harris’ plan – coming to a total of $645,053 across three decades.

“Kennedy’s plan not only is the better option for the cost of the mortgage, but it also doesn’t cost the taxpayers a dime. In contrast, Harris plans to use tax funds to pay for other people’s down payment,” Rio said.

One social media user drew a comparison with student loans.

Others had praise for the independent candidate.

There was also criticism for Harris’ proposals.

Kamala Harris’ Proposed Platform Will Open Floodgates To Illegal Aliens

The Democratic National Convention has offered a first glimpse into Kamala Harris’ platform she will implement if elected President of the United States on November 5.

One particular pledge caught the eye of conservative commentators on X, and is a damning indictment of a Vice President who served as Border Czar amid an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants into the nation.

Director of the Center for Homeland Security & Immigration at the America First Policy Institute, Rob Law, shared details of what he called the “most radical amnesty bill ever written” under Harris’ proposed U.S. Citizenship Act.

The Act pledges to only remove noncitizens if they have been convicted of a felony, or at least three misdemeanor offenses. Alas, those who have used taxpayer funded welfare, or voted unlawfully in a U.S. election, will still be offered amnesty.

Furthermore, illegal aliens who have been convicted of an offense beyond a ten-year period prior to their citizenship application will also enjoy an ineligibility waiver.

Social Security numbers will also be provided to each “lawful perspective immigrant,” meaning even those who do not ultimately acquire citizenship will still possess a Social Security number prior to a decision on their status.

Last, but by no means least, the bill proposes returning those who were deported under the Trump administration for “humanitarian purposes, to ensure family unity, or if such a waiver is otherwise in the public interest.”

Law concluded that the “radical bill rewards illegal aliens and traffickers while putting Americans last.”
