Trump-Harris debate updates: Candidates go on attack in zinger-filled showdown

Trump was asked about his shifting stances on abortion issues, specifically his flip-flop on support for Florida's abortion rights ballot measure.

He spent a majority of his response railing against Democrats for being "too liberal" on abortion access and falsely stating they support abortions after birth.

"In other words, we'll execute the baby," he claimed.

This is false. There is no state that allows the killing of a baby after birth. Infanticide is illegal in all 50 states.

"There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born," ABC News moderator Linsey Davis responded.

Trump is already wading into personal attacks against Harris while answering specific questions about the economy, calling her and her father a Marxist.

“Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She is going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat.” He continued, “She is a Marxist. Everyone knows she is a Marxist. Her father is a Marxist professor in economics. He taught her well.”

Harris could be seen laughing as he delivered the remark.

Fact Check: True, but needs context

Trump has proposed a universal "10-20%" tariff on all U.S. imports, from cars and electronics to wine, food products and many other goods. He has also proposed a 60% tariff on imports from China. Vice President Harris called the plan "Trump’s sales tax," though the former president has not explicitly proposed such a tax. Independent economists, however, say the proposed import tariffs would unquestionably result in higher prices for American consumers across the board (Tax Foundation, American Action Forum, Tax Policy Center, Center for American Progress, Peterson Institute)>.

The precise financial impact on families is hard to predict and estimates vary widely – from additional annual costs per household of $1,700 to nearly $4,000, depending on the study.

Trump has not called for any tax hikes for American families. He has proposed exempting Social Security benefits and tips from taxation, as well as extending individual tax cuts enacted in 2017.

Trump just praised the Supreme Court. That's not going to be a popular position. According to 538's average, only 37% of Americans approve of the Supreme Court; 54% disapprove.
