1:13Now PlayingDonald Trump shifted blame for polarizing political rhetoric in the U.S. and said the Biden/Harris administration has been one of the most divisive in U.S. history.
“In the history of our country there’s never been anything like it,” Trump said. “They’re destroying our country and they come up with things.”
Trump then defended his record of calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5 in 1989.
“They pled guilty,” Trump said. “Then they pled, ‘we’re not guilty,’” Trump said.
Harris and Trump met for their first and possibly only debate on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC in Philadelphia. Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee this summer after Biden gave a troubling debate performance in June, increasing calls for him to drop out of the race.
According to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, more than two-thirds of Americans say they will watch all or most of the debate. While many voters have already made up their minds, 14 percent of Americans say the debate will have a great impact on which candidate they choose.
