(PBS)Former President Donald Trump twice refused to directly answer a question during the debate about whether he wanted U.S. ally Ukraine to win the war.
(Philadelphia Inquirer)Harris pressed Trump on international relations, namely the NATO alliance, Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Russia’s war on Ukraine. She said that if Trump was still in the Oval Office, Putin would invade the rest of Europe, starting with Poland. With this, Harris took the opportunity to reach a very specific demographic in the critical battleground state.
“Why don’t you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch?” Harris said in one of her harder-hitting lines of the evening.
