Harris and Trump squared off in high-stakes presidential debate

What to Know

• Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced off tonight in Philadelphia for their first debate as presidential candidates, painting starkly different visions of the country.
• While it's the second debate of the general election, it was the first between the two candidates — and the first time Harris and Trump have met in person.
• The candidates sparred on the economy, immigration and abortion among other topics.
• Trump again repeated false claims, including a debunked idea that Haitian immigrants are taking family pets for food in an Ohio town. Harris side-stepped some key issues, including questions about abortion limitations and the Afghanistan withdrawal.
• Voters will officially head to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 5, for Election Day, though early voting starts significantly earlier in many states, including battleground Pennsylvania.
