Trump aced it.
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wjn8py59jtTrump criticised Harris's record on immigration and the border, and also her shifting policy positions -
Harris blamed him for "Trump abortion bans" and for the 6 January attacks on the US Capitol
Snap polls suggest Harris won the debate, but Trump says afterwards that she "lost very badly"
'All I do is tell the truth': Trump speaks to media post-debate

As our North America editor Sarah Smith just reported, Donald Trump spoke to the media after the 90-minute debate ended.
Watch below for his thoughts on the moderators, a second debate, and if migrants are eating dogs in Springfield, Ohio, as he claimed.
Trump aced nothing. He did not answer a single question. He merely used up his allotted time by regurgitating debunked lies and conspiracy theories. When that didn't work, he argued with and talked over both moderators. He just looked like an angry old man and behaved that way all through the debate. He was asked point-blank how he would end the Ukraine war, as he's claimed he would be able to do within 24 hours of becoming President. His answer - a nonsensical rant full of lies and conspiracy theories in which he did not even come close to answering the question. He was asked point-blank what his plan was to replace Obamacare. His answer - more lies and conspiracy theories about how the Democrats are bad and he was the greatest President in the history of the country. But the moderators held him to this one and he admitted on camera he has no plan, despite saying countless times in interviews and at campaign rallies that he has a plan. The truth is he has nothing and he offered absolutely nothing tonight. He looked and sounded like a stark raving mad lunatic who escaped the asylum and is off his meds. Harris ran rings around him during the debate and won convincingly. It was as bad or worse for Trump in that debate as it was for Biden in the first debate. Trump lost HUGE!
That's true, Armchair, but fair's fair, dear. We need to take his advanced age into account. He's the oldest person ever to run for prez.
That's some achievement, no? When this election's done, the history books will show the big fella fluked an electoral college victory in 2016, then lost two elections to become the most unpopular candidate ever to be nominated by a major political party.
After that, history will record his sentence in November to two years jail in Manhattan Correctional Centre, with a minimum time for parole set at 18 months, as long as he accepts the jury's findings and shows due remorse for his crimes.
Merchan delayed his sentence for good reason. The New York Criminal Courts want the big fella safe and sound, fresh from his election loss and freed from any constitutional obligations to serve the American people as their 47th prez.
He'll need to serve them in another capacity - as a prisoner with an inmate number yet to be determined by the New York Department of Corrections.
