Despite his running mate JD Vance saying that Donald Trump would veto a national abortion ban, the former president said tonight he did not discuss it with him.
“Well, I didn’t discuss it with JD, in all fairness. JD — and I don’t mind if he has a certain view, but I think he wasn’t speaking for me,” Trump said. “Look, we don’t have to discuss it, because she’d never be able to get it, just like she couldn’t get student loans.”
On the debate stage, Trump said he is “not a fan” of an abortion ban, but would not explicitly say if he would veto one — rather that it would never get through Congress.
Last month, Vance told “Meet the Press” that Trump would veto a national abortion ban if it hit his desk as president.
“I think it’d be very clear he would not support it,” Vance said. “I mean, if you’re not supporting it, as the President of the United States, you fundamentally have to veto it.”
Pressed again, Vance said, “I think he would, he said that explicitly that he would.”
In April, Trump said he would not sign a federal abortion ban if it passed Congress, but he didn’t explicitly say he would veto one.
At the first break, former President Donald Trump clocked in at approximately 28 minutes, 22 seconds, while Vice President Kamala Harris’ time came in at approximately 21 minutes, 25 seconds.
Vào giờ nghỉ đầu tiên, cựu Tổng thống Donald Trump đã nói trong khoảng 28 phút, 22 giây, trong khi thời gian của Phó Tổng thống Kamala Harris vào khoảng 21 phút, 25 giây.
Kamala Harris on Tuesday attempted to tie the January 6 attack on the US Capitol to Donald Trump’s past rhetoric after the former president appeared to downplay his role in the riot.
“For everyone watching, who remembers what January 6 was, I say, ‘We don’t have to go back.’ Let’s not go back. We’re not going back. It’s time to turn the page. And if that was a bridge too far for you, well, there is a place in our campaign for you,” she said on the debate stage in Philadelphia.
“Let’s remember Charlottesville,” she said, referring to the White nationalists, neo-Nazis and other right-wing groups who descended on the Virginia city in 2017 to protest its decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, with some chanting, “Jews will not replace us.” One of the attendees rammed his car into a crowd, killing a 32-year-old paralegal and injuring several others. Trump was widely condemned at the time for declaring that there were “very fine people” on both sides of the demonstrations.
“Let’s remember that when it came to the Proud Boys, a militia, the former president said, ‘Stand back and stand by,’” Harris added, referring to a remark Trump made at a 2020 presidential debate. Asked to condemn White supremacists, Trump instead used his allotted time to blame what he called “antifa and the left” for violence and to tell the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”
“Let’s turn the page on this. Let’s not go back. Let’s chart a course for the future and not go backwards to the past,” Harris said.
Former President Donald Trump argued that he could get Russia’s war in Ukraine “settled” within 24 hours if he’s elected back into office.
Asked by moderator David Muir how he would end the war and if he wants Ukraine to win war, Trump responded:
“I want the war to stop… people being killed by the millions,” adding that he believes the Biden administration has not asked NATO to invest more in the war.
“Biden and you (referring to Vice President Kamala Harris) don’t have the courage to ask Europe like I did with NATO,” Trump said, adding that they should be forced to “equalize.”
“With that being said, I want to get the war settled,” he said.
Trump went on to say that he has a good relationship with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I will get it settled even before I become president,” he said.
During a back-and-forth over the war in Ukraine, former President Donald Trump said Vice President Kamala Harris failed to secure peace after being sent to negotiate with the leaders of Ukraine and Russia.
When moderator David Muir asked Harris directly whether she had met Russian President Vladimir Putin, Harris responded: “I said at the beginning of this debate, you’re gonna hear a bunch of lies coming from this fella. And that is another one.”
Harris said she’s met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky several times.
“The reality is, it has been about standing as America always should, as a leader upholding international rules and norms. As a leader who shows strength, understanding that the alliances we have around the world are dependent on our ability to look out for our friends and not favor our enemies because you adore strongmen, instead of caring about democracy. And that is very much what is that stake here,” Harris said.

When asked to clarify his stance on whether it’s in the US’ best interest for Ukraine to win the war, Trump said:
“I think it’s the US best interest to get this war finished and just get it done — negotiate a deal because we have to stop all of these human lives being destroyed.”
Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed Tuesday that 818,000 of the jobs the Biden-Harris administration created from April 2023 to March 2024 were a “fraud.”
Trump was referring to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ recently released preliminary estimate for its annual benchmark revision that suggested there were 818,000 fewer jobs for the year ended in March 2024 than were initially reported.
Economic data is often revised, especially as more comprehensive information becomes available, to provide a clearer, more accurate, picture of the dynamics at play.
Every year – including the four years when Trump was president – the Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts a thorough review of the survey-based employment estimates from the monthly jobs report and reconciles those estimates with fuller employment counts measured by the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program.
This annual process, called a benchmarking, provides a near-complete employment count, because the BLS can correct for sampling and modeling errors from the surveys and re-anchor those estimates to unemployment insurance tax records. The revision process is two-fold: A preliminary estimate is released in mid-August, and the final revision is issued in February, alongside the January jobs report.
While the recently announced preliminary revision (which amounts to 0.5% of total employment) was the largest downward revision since 2009 (which was -902,000, or -0.7%), there have been other large revisions made in recent years – notably a downward revision of 514,000 jobs (-0.3%) for the year ended in March 2019, during the Trump administration.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ health care platform builds on the Biden administration’s efforts to reduce prescription drug costs.
She is calling to expand the current $35 monthly cap on out-of-pocket costs for insulin and the upcoming $2,000 annual limit on out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs generally to all Americans, not just Medicare enrollees. These caps were put in place for those on Medicare in the Inflation Reduction Act. The $2,000 limit on Medicare Part D drug costs takes effect in January.
Harris’ plan would also accelerate the speed of Medicare’s drug price negotiations so that the costs of more medications come down faster. The Biden administration announced the results of the first-ever round of negotiations, which is expected to result in $6 billion in savings for Medicare and a $1.5 billion reduction in out-of-pocket costs for seniors when the lower prices take effect in 2026.
Meanwhile, Trump in November promised to replace the Affordable Care Act, known colloquially as Obamacare, in a series of posts on Truth Social. A Trump-backed effort to repeal and replace Obamacare failed in 2017 after three Republican senators joined with Democrats to vote against the bill.
Trump also vowed in a June 2023 campaign video to reinstate his previous executive order so that the US government would pay the same price for pharmaceuticals as other developed countries. Some of the former president’s pharmaceutical policies were overturned by Biden.
In August, Trump announced plans to make either the government or insurance companies pay for in vitro fertilization treatments. He did not specify how the treatments would be paid for. The former president also praised medical marijuana ahead of some states voting on the issue this fall.
During a back-and-forth over the war in Ukraine, former President Donald Trump said Vice President Kamala Harris failed to secure peace after being sent to negotiate with the leaders of Ukraine and Russia.
When moderator David Muir asked Harris directly whether she had met Russian President Vladimir Putin, Harris responded: “I said at the beginning of this debate, you’re gonna hear a bunch of lies coming from this fella. And that is another one.”
Harris said she’s met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky several times.

As a leader who shows strength, understanding that the alliances we have around the world are dependent on our ability to look out for our friends and not favor our enemies because you adore strongmen, instead of caring about democracy. And that is very much what is that stake here,” Harris said.
Kamala Harris looked to separate herself from Joe Biden on the debate stage Tuesday when Donald Trump tried to link her to the president’s policies.
“You’re not running against Joe Biden, you’re running against me,” she told Trump, who criticized Biden’s handling of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“Biden had no idea how to talk to [Russian leader Vladimir Putin]. He had no idea how to stop it, and now you have millions of people dead, and it’s only getting worse,” Trump said of the ongoing conflict.
“Where is our president? We don’t even know if he’s our president. They threw him out of the campaign like a dog,” Trump added.
Biden ended his campaign for reelection in July and endorsed Harris.
Kamala Harris on Tuesday attempted to tie the January 6 attack on the US Capitol to Donald Trump’s past rhetoric after the former president appeared to downplay his role in the riot.
“For everyone watching, who remembers what January 6 was, I say, ‘We don’t have to go back.’ Let’s not go back. We’re not going back. It’s time to turn the page. And if that was a bridge too far for you, well, there is a place in our campaign for you,” she said on the debate stage in Philadelphia.

Roughly 90 minutes into the debate broadcast, former President Donald Trump had spoken for about 40 minutes and 50 seconds, while Vice President Kamala Harris used roughly 35 minutes and 31 seconds.
While the debate is designed to offer both candidates an equal chance to respond to questions, they can choose not to use the maximum allotted time. The moderators have also allowed more time for responses after some exchanges.
Donald Trump again looked to tie Kamala Harris to some of the Biden administration unpopular policies during the presidential debate Thursday, claiming the vice president “is Biden.”
“Remember this she is Biden. You know, she’s trying to get away from Biden. ‘I don’t know the gentleman,’ she says. She is Biden,” Trump said. He called Joe Biden’s presidency “the most divisive presidency in the history of our country.”
Harris, while laughing and gesturing to herself, said, “clearly, I am not Joe Biden and I am certainly not Donald Trump. And what I do offer is a new generation of leadership for our country.”
Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that both she and running mate Tim Walz own guns.
“We’re not taking anybody’s guns away so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff,” Harris said on the debate stage in Philladelphia in response to former President Donald Trump’s claim that she “wants to confiscate your guns” if elected president.
In 2019, when she was running for the Democratic presidential nomination, Harris spoke of owning a firearm.
“I am a gun owner, and I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do – for personal safety,” she told reporters in Iowa. “I was a career prosecutor.” (Back in California, Harris served as an Alameda County criminal prosecutor, San Francisco district attorney and state attorney general.)
A Harris campaign aide said at the time that the weapon she owns is a handgun, which she keeps locked up as a responsible gun owner. According to the aide, the handgun was purchased years earlier.
Phát biểu kết thúc của mình, Phó Tổng thống Kamala Harris đã đưa ra dòng quen thuộc cho bất kỳ ai lắng nghe chiến dịch bị cắt ngắn của Harris: "Chúng tôi sẽ không quay lại."
Harris ấy nói nước Mỹ vào tối thứ ba đã nghe thấy hai tầm nhìn rất khác nhau đối với đất nước chúng ta: một người tập trung vào quá khứ, và một người vào tương lai.
Nhưng chúng tôi sẽ không quay trở lại, Harris ấy nói thêm.
Harris nói thêm: "Và tôi tin rằng người dân Mỹ biết tất cả chúng ta đều có nhiều điểm chung hơn so với những gì tách biệt chúng ta - và chúng ta có thể lập biểu đồ một con đường mới về phía trước."
Speaking during her closing remarks, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a familiar line for anybody who’s listened to her truncated campaign: “We are not going back.”
She said America on Tuesday night has heard “two very different visions for our country: One that is focused on the future, and one that is focused on the past — an attempt to take us backward.”
“But we’re not going back,” she added.
Harris added: “And I do believe that the American people know we all have so much more in common than what separates us — and we can chart a new way forward.”
