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.

It’s good so many regulars on here recognize all the new naysayers that have been sent over.
It will not work nor will the mods helping her go over with the public.
Their bias will hurt them big time.
Trump has this one.
The “debate” only highlights the corruption.
Yup. A lot of Democrat trolls out in the blogosphere tonight. Ignore them. They show up every debate on our sites to discourage us and make us believe we’re going to lose.
If anything, it should rile all of us and make us even more determined to defeat them.
Humor them kindly 😎
The moderators are horrible… would you expect anything else?
wvgal has been doomin’ and gloomin’ since page one, wonder why she changed from “Trump good” to “Trump bad”
She does it day after day
Paid by the word probably by media matters
The Trump Good part is to build cred for the Trump Bad bit.
Kammy losing it…
She got nuthin…
Kammy is an angry woman… she loathes Trump.
B h o prodeque
What lying pos
Birther lies, Kammie?
Someone on 8kun said it’s Obama in her earpiece. Sure seems like it.
I would say it certainly is. She’s talking like him all night
His puppets , why not be the marionette as well
Per Time magazine:
In the middle of February 2022, Vice President Kamala Harris flew to Europe for a critical mission on the world stage. Nearly 200,000 Russian troops stood at the borders of Ukraine, and their invasion would mark one of the greatest challenges in decades to the U.S.-led international order. The Biden administration sent Harris to help the Europeans deal with it.
Like every aspect of Harris’s record, her forays into international affairs have faced renewed scrutiny since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. No threat to U.S. interests in the world has been more immediate during her tenure in the Biden Administration than the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Harris has occasionally played a visible role in the U.S. response.
the race race race accusation….
“birther”??? are you kidding me???? HARRIS is not eligible. She just opened the door wide.
Beware the trolls. They’re all over the conservative websites tonight trying to discourage us into thinking the president is getting trounced and Harris is scoring big.
Trump is doing well, and he’s clearly outclassing Kamala and her two helpers John and Linsey. This debate won’t change anybody’s vote, but I do believe people are going to be angry seeing the obvious assistance John Muir and Linsey Davis, the so called moderators, interfering at every opportunity to help Harris.
Trump is literally debating three people tonight and scoring big!
It’s David Muir. John Muir was the Father of National Parks. This azzwipe David Muir is a POS lying traitor.
“Lifelong bachelor” too. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but just another way old Dave isn’t exactly transparent with the viewers.
They show up here now and then. Never feed ’em.
Thank you. I noticed that everywhere, too.
ABC Sucks. Kamala Sucks.. Nuf said.
she travels the country?
she won’t even go to the border.
My goodness what a bunch of garbage her accusations against Pres. Trump
I heard he sold Earth’s water to Alpha Centari during the break!
🚨🇺🇸TRUMP TO KAMALA: “QUIET PLEASE.”
OMG. Moderator setting up the race war. Disgusting.
Last questions subject designed to get DJT to react, tee up Kamala for prepared responses and big finish for her. She has rehearsed these answers. Forcing him to react. Press in her favor.
Absolutely
And who didn’t see THAT coming? Kabuki theatre. Relax. Trump’s got this.
If telling lies is a gauge of success, then Harris has won the debate by a huge margin.
It’s the economy, stupid… stay on that topic, Donald…
He just did
Making Kamala look like a fool.
100%
I live on a branch in our beloved treehouse and have for a very long time. She is very well prepared and he is playing defense. I hate to see it but it is what it is. Forever MAGA.
Trump is winning. Tik Tok and X are already mocking the bias and how Trump had to debate 3 people
The headlines in the State run media will be “Harris Crushes Trump in Debate.”
That will last for a few days, then the media bias will be the story.
I agree with you but if you imagine yourself as a person who doesn’t study and understand President Trump and Komrade Harris like you and I do I think she is doing a lot better than I wish she was. Simply my observation. I am not a troll. I have lived on a treehouse branch and learned from all of you for many years.
The bias was too apparent. That will be the story. The bias and that Harris had not only the questions ahead of time but the order of questions. She kept looking to the moderators for backup support. There will be videos of her looking at them to interject.
Trump was and is fearless. What an amazing trait to have for a President.
I respectfully disagree. I thought she was canned – maybe over prepared, had the questions and the order of the questions beforehand. Of course.
Then her facial expressions were a big turnoff. Sneering . Looking bitchy. Even when she tried to look innocent and opened her eyes wide and girly like she looked insincere.
President Trump looked in earnest and passionate about truth and real.
What you describe of her poses infuriated me — THAT is not her, it’s her “acting” behavior. Maybe Emmy-worthy. Ya think?
I agree. She accomplished the goal… avoid a fiasco. She did that.
We need a meme of Trump as Neo fighting off an army of Agent Smiths as those three.
While yawning and giving us his awesome facial gymnastics.
Anything with Neo is fine by me 😉
Oh please
Five Obama soldiers upvoted your comment. Congrats!
That’s always a tip-off. There’s always 5.
Look new to me
Not new…just infrequent.
Roger…acknowledged 😘
Must be an invisible branch
Actually I live on branch 24 on the north side 🥰
There are tens of thousands lurking for every one that puts pixel to screen.
Bound to not know one or two by sight.
I’m out; can’t take any more of this thing they call a debate.
Me too Bessie, I hear you
Went to Poland and Ukraine??? But not to the border or New Palestine?
When she said she supports sovereignty (meaning for Ukraine), I wish he responded, “What about ours?”
I just turned it off. I will read about it here and read comments here although lots of trolls here tonight. Not a serious debate just all the slander and hate thry can repeat ad nauseum.
No tax on Tips. No tax on SSecurity.
THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE ARE NOT INNOCENT.
Just because later they found the DNA of yet a sixth person does NOT mean that the first five were innocent; there was a mountain of evidence.
As usual President Trump was completely correct.
OJ Simpson on steroids. Of course they were guilty. Such a travesty.
When VP Harris bragged about the endorsement of the Rhinos I wish Pres. Trump had told her they can have them because they belong in the party of war and censorship.
the only thing she has accomplished is the destruction of our country.
A new generation of leadership?
Let’s hear the plan, Kammie.
WHERE will the money for your “plan” come from, Kammie????
“I have a plan … unburdened by what has been … yada yada …”
Mention what Biden calls MAGA.
an incumbent claiming they’re a new generation of leadership – ridiculous!
Exactly! The cognitive dissonance in her very candidacy is off the charts. It requires her to act dissociatively as though another personality were responsible for the failed policies of her current executive administration and the other personality, the “candidate,” can fix the mess made by her executive personality. Someone call M. Night Shyamalan
OK who on here thinks she had the questions and/or they had her answers and crafted the questions so she could get in all her bs talking points.
Talk about her plans and the cost to us the taxpayers and how it would destroy the middle class
They created the entire show together.
Commie Collusion.
Me! You’re correct
Yes. Exactly — she was handing out money by the thousands and more. These people will get $25,000 for first home; these over here will get $6000 per newborn; yada, yada.
Meanwhile I’m watching in my head the federal debt come crashing through the roof and growing so large it crushes us all.
Hahahaha! She just did the meme! “I have a plan!!”
Kamala will save small businesses!
The Gaslighting is severe tonite.
That is some major bull white right there.
I stopped watching these so called debates after 2016.. they are nothing but staged shows with the republican in the crosshairs and the demoncrat getting a pass… a BIG waste of time.
I’m with you. Just check in now and then to see demeanor, bias of moderators, that kind of stuff. Debates are meaningless. Like polls. “Everyone” cares about a September 10 poll when it comes out, and then then calendar does its thing and that oh-so-important poll means less and less by the day, until nobody cares about it. Kamala has never received a vote for Presidential Nominee or for President. She lost her own state when she ran last time. She ain’t winning (maybe cheating her way in, but not winning). Relax, Trump’s got this.
This is over, Kamala is just offering platitudes.
you’re the v.p.
DO IT NOW.
you can’t.
because you don’t know how.
Donald Trump is his own worst enemy… he is long winded, rambles, and is repetitive. MSM is lead with topics favorable to Trump and will end with the woke agenda. It’s a well laid trap.
He is doing fine. The pile on is so obvious it will backfire. Go take another chill pill.
Risa, you apparently live in a make believe world where criticism of any kind is strictly forbidden, you really need to step off girl.
Chill pill? Seriously? And, a little free advice since you haven’t figured it out, POTUS doesn’t affect me or my family. My local elections do. Have a coke and a smile…
Is that you David?
He’s doing fine. Relax.
Maybe you can volunteer to coach him.
The insecurity is palpable… because an independent thinker rolls up on the scene. The echo chamber is strong.
Give yourself another pat on the back then.
She doesn’t want division or disparity but keeps lying all night about President Trump!
Right. 100%. She has yet to be truthful. Liars worship the father of lies.
Muir: Mr. Trump, Why are you such a racist? Ms. Harris regurgitates Obama hate and division bs. 100% Obama rehearsed and practiced rhetoric. Oh she’s a uniter, hopey changey. I have a plan! I have a plan!
A five year plan.
Ecxept she was a supporter of one of the most racially divisive hoaxes of all time – the jussie Smollet hoax, which she was going to use as a basis for legislation – at a time when the country needed unity, not more division.
She is out of touch with reality.
MAGA and a check for President Trump tomorrow.
I’m contributing tonight-to honor the man in the arena-
There is one good unexpected possibility that I see. The Democrats will be so happy that they did not fail that they will start putting her in public more and sign on for another debate.
No way. They will say she won and now hide her for the next 2 months. We are in a battle of our lives along with DJT.
Don’t bet on it. If the internal polls go south, they will be trying anything.
She is whining again.
She has a plan….🤣🤣🤣
nah….Pipe dreams….
She’s proud to have been such an important part of this administration … except when it’s not her. Is ya’ is or is ya’ ain’t?
Now with the vote buying, with the people’s money.
What is the plan? Is it a FN secret?
If you want to help business you don’t create inflation so no one can buy things.
Her smugness is a turnoff for me. Her attitude is disgusting. Just like O. Lying through their teeth! Very rehearsed. Sickening.
Boom! Kamala’s economic leggings just collapsed
Not sure debating is a wise strategy for Trump any longer. Kamala lies and lies and then lies some more. How do you debate someone who has no morals or ethics and mis-represents her positions? This election is down to enough people figuring it out.
The lying is incredibly hard to watch. Even worse is how she turns it around and constantly calls Trump the liar.
harris was given all the so called questions ahead of time to practice the responses.
They’re not questions, they are allegations against Trump then asking him to respond putting him on the defense which allows Harris time to remember her rehearsed response
It’s not a debate, it’s a scripted production
Yes. Exactly. Well said.
Yep, it is scripted and moderators are giving her the cues. All BS from ABC. Team Trump should just focus on the stopping the cheat.
You are totally correct.
OK guys–Harris voice DAMN —Never realized how squeaky she was.
all these comments about why he’s not on the offensive?
you kidding.
he took the ball and has trucked it into the endzone…all night.
And it is three against one.
Paid trolls, in my humble opinion. I didn’t watch it (couldn’t) and knew most of the comments saying that were BS. I’ve seen most of PDJT debates except for Joe in July. I didn’t expect a different PDJT performance. It among his first rodeo.
President Trump missed a huge opening when Harris talked about the importance of borders and sovereignty for Ukraine.
