The second presidential debate of the 2024 election year, but the first debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris takes place tonight in Philadelphia, hosted by ABC News at 9:00pm ET.
The entire corporate media system has been assisting the Kamala Harris campaign to establish a preferential narrative while simultaneously covering Harris’s exit from all prior positions. Harris has been prepping with the Obama team, and she is expected to play the race and gender card as much as possible.
The debate is being simulcast by multiple media outlets, carried on PBS and broadcast on Newsmax as well as other alternative platforms. A few of those livestream options are presented below.
If you are watching the debate, consider this an open discussion thread for your views and perspectives.

🤣
She tries projection – world leaders are laughing at you.
I think Trump knew that in addition to debating Kamala Harris he was also going to have to debate John Muir and Linsey Davis. He’s doing a terrific job folks. I know we’re all angry watching this spectacle, but the media is the one that is looking really bad tonight.
bash and tapper set the standard. trump even said he wouldn’t call them fake news anymore.
Said at the first…the questions weren’t given to either.
What was not said…did Kamalala’s camp give the questions to ABC?
The evidence suggests that she had the questions in advance. She was more than prepared. She was informed.
👍 Exactly.
The moderators are actually doing a decent job.
For the dems … right ?
They’re actually pressing her on issues. Maybe they’re pitching her softballs for her to knock out of the park.
🤣 great job debating for Harris.What a farce.
Yes, it was to be expected that he would be debating ABC as well as the fake kandidate Kamalalala.
What a phony we have in our present Vice President!
She has no conscience…
Now Muir is debating Trump. What a scumbag. Now calling Trump a liar. Then continues on with no election fraud narrative. What a biased forum. Too bad so many watching are braindead.
To be expected – anti-Trump for far way back.
Correct.
The problem is the low information voters have just shown up tonight.
They are just seeing these two for the first time.
She looked cool he looked angry.
If you lose your cool in an argument, you lose.
This is not about who I support. I support Trump period.
It’s about him not getting spun up and not hitting all his points.
At the end during the summation, he did not ask, Are you better of now than when I was president?
Missed opportunity.
Because she taunted him about his rallies and he never cooled down after that.
My stomach is sooooooooo in a clenching mode. Maybe 5 beers??.
As is the wife’s.
Kamala is doing better than I expected. She is an evil witch, in my opinion, but I fear she is drawing many into her sick web.
Only looks like she’s doing better because the moderators are helping her, that and the fact the moderators are ‘baiting’ Trump.
and if she can stay away from venn diagrams and unburdened by what has been, it’ll be a wild success for her
low bar
Yep. But what did Trump expect from these clowns?
No, she’s actually doing much better in terms those for whom the debate will influence how they vote.
For all the low information voter who are seeing them together for the first time, “Looks like she is doing better” means she is doing better.
Remember this is a TV show not reality. This is all make believe.
You know the truth.
Everyone on the board knows the truth.
For the low info voter the cool smiling one is who they’ll believe.
Someone is going to have to give PDJT some tranquilizers befor his next debate so he won’t get spun up, start shouting, and miss all of his points.
He MUST learn Self Control!!
You fear ??? Go away
And notice Malamine used the same term (“I fear…”) in a comment just below. Trolls are getting sloppy in their attempts to not seem like trolls…
Realists, not trolls. We don’t need to pretend anything.
30 minutes to go.
Sheri berry youre so scary!!!!👻
If you call lying better well yeah she’s doing great with that.
all she is doing is talking the same stuff. where is the policy? the moderators should use the last half hour to talk specifics.
Better for lying? Well see – people aren’t stupid except for those who don’t think for themselves and those fed on long worn out lies and her repetition of them using them to ride on to make empty promises with no concrete plans. Sounds good to her own ears.
Trump has been coming off as loud and very angry and reactive. She’s coming off as relaxed and in good humor. With that and her boatload of lies mixed with a sprinkling of facts she’ll win the sheep vote. And no, I am not a troll. I want Trump to not blow it with people on the fence watching the debate in order to help them decide. I fear she will get a big bump with this debate.
She’s managed to avoid cackling
He (Biden) hates her (Kamala)
Hahaha
What makes Kamala so confident? Her smirks are unbelievable
She’s a malignant narcissist.
Indeed.
I don’t think that’s confidence… that’s a nervous smile…
Yes, she is very nervous and not confident
Her body language though.. she squirms and looks to the moderators whenever she needs to be saved. And they dutifully run interference for her.
It’s better watching her with the sound off.
Purely rehearsed mannerisms and not good ones at that. Makes her look weak and childish.
Flashback : same expression when Tulsi Gabbard ate her up
She is a trained actor and always has been.
She has been coached to react like that. To look confident.
The moderators are helping her.
She is repeating every debunked lie.
But she bnb is bgg being more effective the tube.
Tonight thatsvwhat matters.
Right from the start – to look confident – striding in looking like a man would!
What makes Kamala so confident?
getting fed thru an earpiece
she knows she can count on the technical support
plus, she can see how the moderators are jumping in a debating Trump and shutting him down
plus, I bet she got the questions ahead of time
they’ll deny it, but remember Hillary and Donna Brazile
Her earrings have a wire going into ear canal. She’s writing things down being said to her
DEBATE FRAUD. False advertising! We were told this was a debate between Trump & Harris.
Is it me or is President Trump on the defensive? Why don’t they let him finish?
He’s reactive and on the defensive and going over his allotted time.
A defensive debate performance by Trump, polls that are fraudulent, and the next three weeks of the networks talking about how Trump is salivating for the next chance to cause violence… this is how you lose when counting ballots is the way you win.
Go away
How many came in the mail for you?
Nobody likes the cackling hag or her policies. That is the reality. If Biden didn’t poop his pants he was having a great day. Remember?
The bar isn’t set much higher here.
how many people…that opposed president trump…did he put in jail?
0.
yet…i’ve lost count of how many this current fake administration has gone after.
This is a farce of a debate.
ABC is doing worse than I thought they would. They must have been told to help her or lose their jobs.
Oh Lord, I am screaming here.
Ohhhh… CRAP!!!… “Gonna tell you a little secret… he HATES her”… speaking of Biden… ouchy ouch ouch…
I think Kammy was Obama’s pick in 2020, IIRC…
Ooh I turned it off too soon! I just couldn’t take her anymore.
Am I the only one seeing the orchestration between Kamala and the moderators.
Nope.
We all see it.
Even those intent on demoralizing us.
Good to hear it’s as blatant as I thought.
No!
No you aren’t. The moderators are doing everything possible to help Kamala. She probably had the questions beforehand because she is too quick with her canned answers.
Not the only one.
🤬 🤬 🤬
Obvious.
This is more than having been given the questions.
This is the result of strategizing and coordinating from day one.
She was listening during the Ukraine bit to who was speaking in her ear
She just called Joe. O’biden
Apparently from some comments here.
No. I see it. For no audience it looked like ABC had hundreds of people in the room getting ready for this. I wonder how many were talking to Kamala’s handlers. I knew they would make this into a script. Did anyone actually believe ABC was going to let it be a debate?
apparent like the nose on your face
Should be clear to all that the moderators are masters of misinformation.
Pray to God almighty.
satan is in God’s beautiful sunshine!
Say “she hid his mental illness”.
I think Comrade K has had some neuro linguistic programming. Part of her debate prep.
100% ^^
I’ll give you a little secret –He hates her
aka Biden hates Karmella
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Don’t speculate, it’s a fact she hid his mental state.
every single lie the Dems have created she is using. Trump hammers her and that is good. She is a decieving coniving evil creature. Here come some more lies about Israel. I’m wasting my time….
yes – every single lie
(How about the “innocent women and children” here in the USA, Kamala?!!)
Trump is Trump. He did not practice or prepare for this debte but he has passion.
How could he “practice” when Kabama was given the questions AND the answers ahead of the debate? She had every advantage given to her. And STILL the moderators had to bail her out!
It’s even worse than we thought. He’s literally debating the moderators.
…and winning!
As he always has to do in these “debates”.
You are obviously not watching the same debate. He is debating 3 people and WINNING. Never in our nations history have the moderates been so biased.
I sincerely pray you are right because I turned it off after the first minute just listening to the wife in the other room and many of the commenters here.
Moderators are suppose to be neutral! They’re not suppose to get involved
In the debate!
“Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people” my god, what a witch. I know Trump’s gonna be Trump, but this is nerve wracking. I liked him asking her to end the debate right now and get Biden to close the border – but man, he’s all over the place.
Fly fly away, go havest the corn if you’re concerned
Take a deep breath. You’ll get paid for posting so all is well.
PDJT is setting many media traps again tonight by bringing up things they don’t / won’t report, which is now forcing them to
The sunlight will be refreshing.
Why didn’t the moderator ask Kamala for her “plan” about Israel????
Cause she and they know she hates Israel
Or any other plan!
I’m laughing too hard to even stream comment. President Trump just slaps this dingbat back and forth.
She sounds like a nasally obama. Same lies same hands chopping for emphasis with all the scripted buzzwords.
Even her cadence sounds like obam.
Waiting for Candy Crowley to elbow in and interject before this ends.
These moderators are not doing any moderating, they are judging you can tell they don’t like Trump! This is a soft debate for Harris.
It shows
Marxists are despicable creeps.
But she’s not coming off as badly as I’d hoped; I doubt anyone’s mind is being changed (so far).
She has exceeded expectations, she has always been a hit man in senate hearings. But little she’s saying will hold up when the ads hit.
Do you get paid more if anyone says they changed their mind?
Do YOU think the debate (so far) has changed anyone’s mind?
You’re correct. The majority of this country is for President Trump and absolutely nothing has changed except for the ENEmedia narrative.
Tomorrow they can all crow that Kabama did NOT poop her pants like her sidekick, quid pro Joe!
We expected a stoned out, cackling hag but we got a sober, bald-faced liar, instead. Bravo team Kabama!
I really did not believe that ABC would do this but they decided to throw in with Harris, 100%. Just amazing. https://x.com/hughhewitt/status/1833685477821435954
Did you expect anything different. Just need to prepare with facts and state them.
Why did you not believe it?
It’s friggin ABC! They are the worst – PDJT already mentioned that several times before today…
DemocratCommunists cannot win an election anywhere in the U.S.A. if they don’t lie and cheat…and throw insults. MzKamala is shameless ain’t she?
(Keeping that smirk on her face is quite telling)
Trump is not letting them get away with their lies. What’s he suppose to do? take it? NO. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!!
Trump got mad and blew it.
We are not to the first break.
I hope he gets a hold of himself and quits taking her bait.
Go read Big Al Brown this morning
That’s what he should be saying.
And yes we are related (twins)
lol. Whatever, troll
So, wouldn’t you be PO’d with blatant crap coming out of her mouth. On top of that, the moderators are so biased against him interjecting their own little digs and garbage. I would have forced her to debate me on fox with McCallum and Hannity. Of course, she wouldn’t because she is a COWARD.
Bad bad Leroy brown baddest troll in the whole damn town
Go away
I pray President Trump will not participate in another “rigged” debate.
The winner should not give the loser a second debate. This will be the last in this race.
They now have a completely telepathic Pupettering device working on this one – all I can hear from the pututaive Demoncrat is O’Blama’s voice, thoughts, words, and actions. They have perfected the art.
If I close my eyes, all I see is the Mouth of Sauron. The Evil is strong, with this one. She has been totally subsumed. I can’t take it any more, I have to quit now, for my own sanity.
Hang in there. President Trump is strong. He is finishing strong. He is entirely up to debating the moderator[s?–Muir seems to be the only one] as well as Harris. This vileness will not prevail.
Go take a pill.
Does anyone believe she did not get these questions ahead of time?
Her staff wrote them, whether they a re ABC employs isn’t important.
”She hates Israel.” She hates the Arabs in her own way.Iran was broke under Donald Trump. He’ll get the war between Israeli and Ukraine ended before he takes office. He’s finishing strong.
“It is well known”
-drink
One lie after the other
Flattery and favors???
You are a disgrace
Kamala just described herself and her gang
she’s getting fed thru an earpiece
no way she’s remembered all this
Yes see when trump was answering about Ukraine
And when she left the podium she took the paper with her. President Trump did not.
There looks to be a bazillion trolls on here tonight
Yep. Call em out. Give them a good cajole
How much more proof do people need to understand the entire News Media has turned communist ?
PDJT Unveiled and confirmed how corrupt the Whole U.S. government is and all of the media and they are coming for us.
Well said
She clearly worked with her best friend from ABC, listen to how they let her talk and never cut her off. They cut Trump off and talk over him constantly. This country is so far gone, I have zero hope for it.
Based!! He just goaded Harris into full throated support of Israel. That isn’t going to play well with her voters.
Trump is doing just fine considering the conditions. He’s not taking her bait, and making great policy points. Once the pundits go through the debate tomorrow, they will award Trump the winner re policy. He’s really trying hard not to take her bait regarding personal abuse.
