Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump engaged in a heated debate in the second presidential debate of the 2024 election on Tuesday.
The event was hosted by ABC News, with moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis.
The second debate could have a significant impact as the competition has been intense so far, with either candidate potentially taking the lead.

"One of my passions is small businesses."
"I love our small businesses. My plan is to provide a $50,000 tax credit for start-up small businesses, as they are the backbone of the American economy.
