**PHILADELPHIA, PA -** Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump engaged in a heated debate Tuesday night, showcasing starkly different visions for the country on issues ranging from abortion and immigration to American democracy.

Harris, seeking re-election with President Biden, promised tax cuts for the middle class and pledged to restore a federally guaranteed right to abortion. Trump, on the other hand, focused on his economic policies, claiming his proposed tariffs would protect American interests and arguing that inflation and immigration are the major concerns for voters.
