on september 10th local time, former us president and republican presidential candidate trump and us vice president and democratic presidential candidate harris participated in a televised debate hosted by the american broadcasting corporation (abc) in philadelphia.

harris made clear her economic agenda during the debate, emphasizing that she is the only candidate on the stage who makes "improving the status of the american middle class and working people" a core issue.

in the face of rising prices, which is of general concern to voters, she proposed a series of policy measures aimed at alleviating the financial pressure on families, including expanding the child tax credit, providing mortgage assistance for new home buyers, and increasing tax incentives for small businesses.

harris also directly criticized the tariff policies of the trump administration, believing that these policies have exacerbated price increases and placed a heavy burden on american families.

trump countered that despite his tariff policy, it was not the main cause of inflation. "the economy is terrible, and we have inflation that few people have ever seen."

the debate could be the only one between harris and trump this cycle, with early voting set to begin in a few days in some states. surveys show the two candidates locked in a tight race. trump and harris are vying for advantage in seven battleground states that could decide the outcome in november. harris is ahead or tied with trump in all seven states, according to an august bloomberg news/morning consult voter survey.

traders were not jumping to any conclusions as the debate got underway, with s&p 500 futures and exchange rates barely reacting. even the typically volatile bitcoin held steady at $57,000.
