Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were reunited hours after their head-to-head presidential debate in Philadelphia as both attended a 9/11 memorial event at Ground Zero in New York City on Wednesday morning.
The Republican nominee was widely felt to have fallen apart on the ABC News debate stage, providing rambling answers on illegal immigration, abortion and the economy and taking the bait whenever he was goaded by Harris, notably when she mocked his “boring and exhausting” rallies.
The candidates had shared an unexpected handshake at the start of the night, with the Vice President introducing herself and catching the businessman off guard.
But when the contest got underway, Trump went off on wild but familiar tangents, rehashing a recently debunked claim about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating domestic pets in Springfield, Ohio, inviting widespread ridicule.
Harris, meanwhile, used her time to cycle through Trump’s legacy of racist attacks, professional failings and culpability for the Capitol riot.
Shortly after the combative, 90-minute encounter concluded, Trump was dealt a further blow when pop superstar Taylor Swift formally announced she is endorsing Harris and Tim Walz, labelling herself a “childless cat lady” in a rebuke to JD Vance.

Trump’s Truth Social stock price plunges following his debate performance
Investors in Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social are feeling the after-effects of Tuesday’s presidential debate against Kamala Harris, with share prices plummeting as the stock market opened on Wednesday.
Shares in the Nasdaq-listed Trump Media and Technology Group Corp were down as much as 17.6 per cent to approximately $15.40 upon opening bell – hours after Trump and Harris faced off on the debate stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
It marks a stark contrast to Tuesday morning, which saw an uptick for Trump’s social media company for a second day in row – with a 3.2 percent increase and shares hitting a $18.63 high when markets closed at 4pm.

Donald Trump was repeatedly fact-checked during his 2024 election debate with Kamala Harris on Tuesday, 10 September.
The former president was quickly slapped down by moderator David Muir after each false claim during the event in Philadelphia.
As Mr Trump spoke, the vice president looked in disbelief at him before laughing.
In one of the more bizarre moments of the debate, Mr Trump claimed that immigrants in Ohio are abducting pets and eating them.
He also said that Tim Walz has said “execution after birth is OK”, as well as further false claims about the 2020 election.
Trump says Taylor Swift will ‘pay a price’ for her Kamala Harris endorsement
endorsing Kamala Harris following Tuesday night’s presidential debate.
Trump dialled in to Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning and tried to shrug off the megastar’s endorsement of his political opponent, declaring he was “not a fan” of the singer.
“I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” he said.
“It was just a question of time. She couldn’t possibly endorse Biden… But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat, and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
