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

When asked if he regretted his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump contended that he ordered the crowd to leave "peacefully and patriotically," and defended the protesters.

"This group of people treated so badly," he said.

When asked again if he regretted his actions, Trump answered, "I had nothing to do with that other than they asked me to make a speech. I showed up for a speech."

Trump dodges question about Jan. 6, claims he had nothing to do with it

When asked if he regretted his actions on Jan. 6, Trump contended that he ordered the crowd to leave "peacefully and patriotically," and defended the protesters.

While Trump was trying to claim Harris supports defunding the police, she could be seen saying his statement was "not true" despite her microphone being muted.

But Trump clearly heard her.

"I'm talking now. If you don't mind. Please. Does that sound familiar?" he said.

The comment was a call back to Harris' viral chiding of Mike Pence during their vice presidential debate in 2020 for his interruptions while she was answering a question.

"Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking,” she pushed back at the time.

Harris was asked about her policy position changes on issues such as fracking, key in Pennsylvania -- which she said during her last campaign for president she wanted to ban, but now won't.

Harris said that as vice president she has not banned fracking, and that her position is that we "have got to invest in diverse sources of energy."

Harris asked to address policy changes

"We have had the largest increase in domestic oil production in history because of an approach that recognizes that we cannot over rely on foreign oil," she said.

Fact: True, but needs context.

It is accurate that no one with a direct role in the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2021 has been held publicly accountable.

Trump appears to be specifically referring to a suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members.

U.S. Central Command ultimately concluded that the bombing was not preventable and that members of a Marine sniper team were mistaken when they told others they had the suicide bomber in their sights.

Trump, congressional Republicans and several Gold Star families say they believe these investigations have not gone far enough.
