After shaking hands – it was the first time they had met – the pair debated policy before moving onto more personal attacks

Harris said people leave Trump rallies early “out of exhaustion and boredom” – he said people don’t go to hers in the first place

Trump criticised Harris’s record on immigration and the border, and also her shifting policy positions – Harris blamed him for “Trump abortion bans” and for the 6 January attacks on the US Capitol

Snap polls suggest Harris won the debate, but Trump says afterwards that she “lost very badly”

With the election taking place on 5 November, Harris is slightly ahead in national opinion polls – but polls are very tight in key battleground states

Shortly after the debate, Taylor Swift endorsed Harris on Instagram, calling her a ”gifted leader”
