Many were looking to see how Harris explained herself on the debate stage.
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris participate in a presidential debate in Philadelphia, Sept. 10, 2024.on Tuesday night to see Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump discuss issues and share their visions for the country., especially given that she entered the race relatively late as a presidential candidate.
"Former President Trump has forced me into voting for VP Harris," he said. The reasons: because of how Trump discussed Ashli Babbit -- a Trump supporter who was fatally shot during the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol -- whom the former president said "was shot by an out-of-control police officer;" and after Trump promoted being endorsed by Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, who is considered an authoritarian leader.
Rebecca Bakker, a registered nursing professor who lives near Grand Rapids, Michigan, told ABC News by text ahead of the debate that she was still undecided -- although she had said beforehand she was not supporting Trump. Bakker said she would like another debate to see if either candidate "reframes their narrative to address specifics on policies without 'one of them' losing focus and returning to childish behavior," she wrote, adding she wants to see Harris discuss the economy and border issues more directly.MORE: Harris' relentless debate strategy takes Trump off talking points: ANALYSIS
