As the November election approaches, the recent debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris has captivated the nation. Harris with her characteristic assertiveness, and Trump emphasizing his achievements in office, both candidates tackled critical issues like the economy, abortion, war, and immigration, disagreeing over every subject. Harris seemed to dominate the debate, putting Trump in an uncharacteristically defense position.
Presidential debates serve as the candidates' chance to discuss the leading questions of the day and to present their stances on the most important domestic and global issues. But in seeking to hold the nation's top office by fielding questions on a range of topics, taking part in a US presidential debate also provides an opportunity for a candidate to make some colossal gaffes, mistakes, or even discuss strange topics, that could in fact cost them the very position they're aiming for. And it has happened before.
