The primary candidates for the nation’s highest office offered little clarity on their policy plans as they met for the first time for a live, televised debate in Philadelphia on Sept. 10.

In an opening exchange on the economy representative of the rest of the debate, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump offered no additional details on their plans, misrepresented each other’s positions, and traded attacks on topics including Jan. 6, the pandemic, and the crisis on the U.S. southern border.
