Key takeaways from the first heated Harris-Trump debate

Americans watched Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump debate for the first — and sure last — time on September 10 in Philadelphia, lower than two months before Election Day.
The two candidates clashed on stage, debating a big selection of issues, including the economy, abortion, foreign policy, immigration and even race.
Here are 4 key takeaways from the debate that black voters should take away before heading to the polls.
Harris focuses on middle class plan
Right from the get-go, the economy was the first topic of debate. As ABC moderator David Muir noted, the economy and the cost of living are the primary issue for voters.
While Harris dodged the first query of the night about whether she thinks Americans are higher off than they were 4 years ago, she did say she was the only candidate on stage who had a plan to enhance the situation for the middle class and dealing people in America.
“I’m going to extend the $6,000 tax cut for these families, which is the largest child tax credit we’ve given in a long time, so these young families can afford to buy a crib, a car seat, clothes for their children,” Harris said. “I love our small businesses. My plan is to give a $50,000 tax cut to small businesses that are starting up, knowing that they are the backbone of the American economy.”
Trump has said his economic plan involves increasing tariffs on imported goods.
“Other countries are finally going to pay us back, after 75 years, for all we’ve done for the world, and the tariffs are going to be significant,” Trump said.
Trump won’t answer whether he would veto a nationwide abortion ban
Harris and Trump had a lengthy exchange as ABC News moderators asked the candidates about the abortion issue. Trump has boasted in the past that he’s “proud” to be “the most pro-life president in American history.”
Moderators asked Trump twice if he would veto a nationwide abortion ban if he were re-elected.
Trump has reiterated his position that he believes in exceptions to abortion in cases of rape or incest.
He says, “I’m not signing a ban, and there’s no reason to sign a ban because we got what everybody wanted. Democrats, Republicans, everybody else, and every lawyer wanted to take it back to the states,” Trump said. “I’m not in favor of a ban on abortion, but that doesn’t matter because it’s now up to the states.”
When moderators asked Harris if she would support any restrictions on a lady’s right to an abortion, she responded, “I strongly support restoring the protections of Roe v. Wade.
Harris addresses Trump’s race controversy
Muir asked Trump about his accusation last month that he didn’t know Vice President Harris was black until she turned “black” a couple of years ago. Muir asked Trump if he thought it was appropriate to comment on his opponent’s racial identity.
“I don’t care who she is, I don’t care,” Trump replied. “You’re making a big deal out of something. I couldn’t care less. Whoever she wants to be is fine by me. … All I can say is I read that she wasn’t black, that she posted that, and I’ll say that. And then I read that she was black, and that’s fine.”
Harris responded to his comments by calling it a tragedy that Trump has tried to make use of race to divide Americans throughout his profession.
“Remember how Donald Trump started. He owned buildings and was under investigation because he refused to rent to black families,” Harris said. “Remember, this is the same person who took out a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for the execution of five young black and Latino boys who were innocent, the Central Park Five. (He) took out a full-page ad calling for their execution. This is the same person who spread lies about where the first black president of the United States was born. I think the American people want better.”
Trump Doubles Down on False Claims About Haitian Migrants ‘Eat Dogs’
On immigration, former President Trump has made false accusations about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating residents’ dogs and cats despite city officials apparently stated that the allegations were false and that there have been “no credible reports” of harm to pets.
“They’re eating dogs in Springfield. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and that’s what’s happening in our country,” Trump said. “She’s destroying this country, and if she becomes president, this country has no chance of success. Not only success, we’re going to end up like Venezuela on steroids.”

“But for too many black New Yorkers this is no longer a reality. The city is different, and the next mayor of this city must have a plan that will help black New Yorkers.”
Myrie’s term of office as a senator of state from 2019 has placed him to support civil rights of black New Yorkers.
Together with the latest administration of Trump in office, a 38-year-old politician believes that one should concentrate on protecting pioneering citizenship by black leadership, because he says: “We have a president who clearly attacks black people throughout the country. The president, who eliminates disputes regarding civil rights, accuses employees of accused of enforcing civil rights,” said the candidate for Rican.

Trump’s staff are trying to stop the “abuse” of Elon Musk’s relationship with the president, who cannot demand him because “there is no leverage over him, and Elon gives Zero FS”

He is a spoiled brat of the inner circle of the magician, opening the thumb with Donald Trump’s “Tatus”, seemingly remaining a privileged son.
A jealous older brother Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Trump, who once enjoyed the same close president, declared war with the younger, richer Nemesis a couple of months ago, swearing that he banished him on January 20.
But this date has passed, and Elon is still standing, often alongside the president.

However, this week, the General Director of Tesla could go too far. Musk undermined Trump’s announcement on Tuesday about an investment price $ 500 billion in the infrastructure of artificial intelligence, claiming that supporters of the “Stargate project” only a fraction of the proposed investments price $ 500 billion.
He even published a joke This suggested that the directors were burning Crack “to come up with the number of $ 500 billion for Stargate.”
Bannon saw, telling Musk journalists, “he should not reverse what the president was already talking about. This is unacceptable and unsatisfactory. You see how he is out of control.”
Trump, when asked about the number of Musk’s failures at a press conference on Friday, seemed to move his arms.
“I mean that Elon does not like one of these people,” Trump replied, referring to musk contempt for the general director of OPENAI Altman itself, one of the primary investors of the Stargate project.
That’s all? No pink slip? Even insult? What does the President’s Musk have?
“It is obvious that he abused the proximity of the president,” Trump’s ally he said Politico. “The problem is that the president has no levers over him, and Elon gives zero f – s.”
As Politico noted: “It is very unusual for the senior adviser-Muska-in public to criticize the president’s initiatives, and his broadly favorable speculation in GOP circles about whether he and Trump will finally seem.”
But there are no signs of the upcoming breakup. Trump is unable to hide his feelings and although there have been reports that he has enough musk, the general director of Starlink retains almost unusual access to the president.
Musk even has an office in West Wing, during which he pilots the “Department of Government”, an advisory commission created by Trump to eliminate waste in the federal government.
“We are now working with him to understand his ideas – the ideas are innovative. Make done not so much,” said a political official of the White House.
Bannon called on the chief of staff of Susie Wiles to “sit (musk) down” and “immediate sorting”.
He should already know: no person puts Elon in the corner.

Black historians and leaders condemn the executive order of Trump addressed to the Smithsonian African American Museum: “Literal attack on Black America” - essence

One of the latest executive orders of President Trump is to arouse serious slack and for a reason. New order entitled “Restoring truth and mental health to the history of America” He follows the Smithsonian institution particularly the National Museum of History and Culture of African American-conquering it consisting in pushing “a divisible, focused ideology on the race.”
But about this: the executive order ignores key facts about the history of America, akin to the founders’ fathers wrote slavery in the structure and announced enslaved people as three fifth people.
As Essence informed earlier, the order is about by JD Vance Vice President liable for reviewing the museum content and gives the internal secretary Doug Burgum the right to examine whether any monuments have been removed or modified “to consolidate a false reconstruction of America’s history.” In other words, direct effort is to rewrite history to match the president’s narrative – one which removes the influence of racism and black contribution to the nation.
In 2017, at the starting of his first term, Trump actually praised the African American Museum and culture, saying that “he was deeply proud, that there is now a museum that honors millions of African Americans and women who built our national heritage.” Now he conducts the effort to undermine the institution itself, which he once called the treasure. But historians and black leaders don’t withdraw. As Clarke put it: “Let’s be a bright, black story is America’s story. Every rhetoric that opposes this concept is not only incorrect, but grossly racist.”
Historians, supporters of civil rights and black political leaders shouldn’t have this. Here’s what that they had to say about the latest attempt to whiten history.
