The first presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump generated a lot of work for fact-checkers. In this video, we complied some highlights from the Sept. 10 debate.
The video, produced by FactCheck.org Social Media Manager Josh Diehl, covers the candidates’ claims about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol; the Russia-Ukraine war; unemployment; immigration; abortion; the U.S. trade deficit; fracking; taxes; tariffs; guns; inflation; health care; and employment.

This is the second debate video. We also published a video in June after Trump’s debate with President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race in part because of his poor debate performance.
The next scheduled debate is Oct. 1 in New York between the vice presidential candidates, Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota.
