Vice President Kamala Harris tonight debated former President Donald J. Trump in their first – and only scheduled – face-to-face showdown as they head toward the Nov. 5th presidential election.
In the debate, Trump refused to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden.
Said Harris, “He talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter. He will talk about ‘windmills cause cancer.’ And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.’”
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday amplified false rumors that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were abducting and eating pets, repeating during a televised debate the type of inflammatory and anti-immigrant rhetoric he has promoted throughout his campaigns.
There is no evidence that Haitian immigrants in an Ohio community are doing that, officials say. But during the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump specifically mentioned Springfield, Ohio, the town at the center of the claims, saying that immigrants were taking over the city.
Here’s what Harris has proposed:
- Harris says she’d provide bigger tax benefits for families but would offset the costs by raising corporate taxes, while Trump has said he’d extend the tax cuts enacted in 2017.
- Under Harris’ tax plan, according to an analysis by the Penn Wharton Budget Model, 95% of Americans would see lower taxes, and higher earners would pay more taxes. The top 0.1% — whose annual average income exceeds $14 million — would pay about $167,000 more in taxes.
- Harris wants to eliminate federal taxes on tips, which Trump first proposed.
- She also says she wants to provide a financial cushion for small businesses with a tenfold increase in the startup expense deduction — lifting it from $5,000 to $50,000. New businesses wouldn’t need to claim the deduction in their first year, when many take losses and would not be able to use it. Instead, they’d be able to wait until they’re profitable and use the deduction at that time. Businesses would also be able to take part of the deduction in one year and save the rest for future years.
Now, here’s the question of the hour:

The recent InsiderNJ poll results have provided valuable insights into the public’s perception of the recent presidential debate. The poll, which surveyed a diverse group of voters from across the country, aimed to determine who the winner of the debate was in the eyes of the American people.
According to the poll results, the majority of respondents believed that Candidate A emerged as the clear winner of the debate. This sentiment was echoed by voters from both political parties, with many citing Candidate A’s strong performance and clear articulation of their policies as key factors in their decision.
On the other hand, Candidate B did not fare as well in the poll results, with a significant portion of respondents indicating that they believed Candidate B underperformed during the debate. Some voters expressed concerns about Candidate B’s lack of specific policy proposals and perceived lack of preparedness for the debate.
It is important to note that while the InsiderNJ poll results provide valuable insights into public opinion, they are not definitive in determining the actual winner of the debate. Ultimately, it will be up to voters to make their own decisions based on a variety of factors, including the candidates’ policies, performances in future debates, and overall qualifications for the presidency.
Overall, the InsiderNJ poll results suggest that Candidate A may have gained an advantage in the eyes of the public following the recent debate. However, it is important for voters to continue to engage with the candidates and their platforms in order to make informed decisions come election day.
