Vice President Kamala Harris got one thing she wanted on Tuesday night in Philadelphia: The second presidential debate was much more about former President Donald Trump than the first.
That was only partly due to Harris’s own efforts. ABC News’s moderators aggressively, and almost exclusively, fact-checked and argued with Trump. The former president and 2024 Republican presidential nominee also frequently took the bait, allowing the conversation to shift to his four years in office rather than prosecuting the case against Harris.
