‘Why hasn’t she done it?’ Donald Trump blasts Kamala Harris in fiery presidential debate & says ‘we’re a failing nation’

DONALD Trump has ripped into Kamala Harris' resume as vice president and criticized the nation's status as being in "serious decline."

Trump lashed out at the vice president during his closing statement at their first presidential debate, saying her work in the White House alongside President Joe Biden has led to America being "laughed at all over the world."

"We're a nation that's in serious decline," Trump declared, adding, "We're being laughed at all over the world."

The Republican presidential nominee, 78, attempted to smear Harris' policy promises, saying she failed to get the job done in her three-and-a-half-years as vice president.

"She's going to do this, she's going to do that, she's going to do all these wonderful things. Why hasn't she done it?" Trump said.

"She's been there for three and a half years. They've had three and a half years to fix the border.

"They've had three and a half years to create jobs."

Trump continued, "Why hasn't she done it?

"She should leave right now, go down to that beautiful White House, go to the Capitol, get everyone together, and do the things she says she wants to do.

"She hasn't done it, and she won't do it because she believes in things that the American people don't believe in."

Debate night highlights...

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris engaged in a fiery debate where, at times, the former president seemed enraged and frustrated.
Vice President Harris tried to get under Trump's skin by bringing up his ties to Project 2025, his criminal conviction in New York, his rally crowd sizes, and the various indictments he's facing.
Trump went off script when he repeated wild conspiracies about immigrants eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio.
"They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there," Trump said as Harris laughed and shook her head.
In one instance, Trump seemingly threw his running mate, JD Vance, under the bus and blamed him for miscommunication about his stance on a national abortion ban.
Despite his subpar moments, Trump dubbed his performance "his best debate ever."
A Harris spokesperson called for a second debate in October.

Meanwhile, Harris affirmed the country is looking to turn the page on the past and look towards a different future.

"So, I think you've heard tonight two very different visions for our country, one that is focused on the future, and the other that is focused on the past and an attempt to take us backward," Harris said during her closing statement.

"But we're not going back, and I do believe that the American people know we all have so much more in common than what separates us, and we can chart a new way forward, and a vision of that includes having a plan, understanding the aspirations, the dreams, the hopes, the ambition of the American people."

Harris concluded, "I intend to be a president for all Americans and focus on what we can do over the next 10 and 20 years to build back up our country by investing right now in you, the American people."

ROUND TWO?

Despite going off script several times throughout the primetime clash, Trump called his performance "his best debate ever."

"I thought that was my best Debate, EVER, especially since it was THREE ON ONE!" Trump said in a Truth Social post, criticizing the ABC moderators.

Harris' campaign called for a second debate less than an hour after the conclusion of Tuesday's showdown.

"Under the bright lights, the American people got to see the choice they will face this fall at the ballot box: between moving forward with Kamala Harris, or going backwards with Trump," Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris' campaign chair, said in a statement.

"That's what they saw tonight and what they should see at a second debate in October. Vice President Kamala Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?"

Harris' campaign team slammed Trump as being "totally incoherent, angry, and rattled" throughout the 90-minute debate.

Trump had previously agreed to two separate debates, one from NBC News on September 25 and another from Fox News.

"[Trump] has already accepted an NBC debate and a Fox debate. It's Kamala Harris who hadn't accepted prior debates," a Trump campaign adviser told the New York Post.

With less than two months before the November 5 election, it's unclear if a second debate will take place.

But, hours after the conclusion of Tuesday's debate, Fox News reaffirmed its status to host a second presidential showdown between Trump and Harris.
