Trump debate performance panned as well-prepped Harris gets help from ABC moderators: 'Three on one' | 11 Sept 2024 | Former President Donald Trump repeatedly found himself on the back foot Tuesday night during his debate with Kamala Harris -- as Republicans seethed over repeated fact-checks of the GOP candidate and a noticeably lighter touch for the Democrat's own disputed statements. Harris, 59, arrived well-prepared to rattle Trump... Trump, 78, found himself having to answer not only Harris's repeated and pointed attacks [and numerous lies] on both his pride and policy, but also a pair of moderators who quibbled with some of his statements despite what his supporters viewed as a lack of even-handedness. When Trump argued that crime in the U.S. is increasing because of migrants allowed into the country on Harris's watch, World News Tonight anchor David Muir interjected: "President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is actually coming down." Trump fired back with his own fact check, that "they didn’t include the cities with the worst crime," referencing the omission of data from Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago.
