In particular, their responses to questions about economic plans were hazy, all as the economy remains a key issue for many voters. Between questioning Harris' racial identity and whether she passed her bar exam —she did — Trump fielded questions about how he would support Black voters economically. When pressed on his exact plans, Trump redirected the conversation to President Joe Biden's debate performance, immigration policy, and plans for electric vehicles. A similar dynamic played out during the debate — Trump spewed racist rhetoric about Haitian migrants in Ohio, while Harris remained on message.
