(NewsNation) — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced each other for the first time in a debate with fewer than 60 days left until the election in November.
Harris and Trump have traded jabs at events and in interviews, but this was the first face-to-face contest between the two since Harris was nominated after President Joe Biden, the presumed Democratic nominee, bowed out of the race.
This debate followed the same rules as the debate between Trump and Biden earlier this year, after which Biden stepped away from seeking reelection. The candidates were not allowed notes or props, had their microphones muted between questions and there was no live audience.
