From childless cat lady endorsements to cat eating claims
0:03
was the U.S. presidential debate just one big cat fight? Here's everything you need to know
0:08
They're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats
0:12
They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And I'm going to actually do something really unusual
0:20
and I'm going to invite you to attend one of Donald Trump's rallies because it's a really interesting thing to watch
0:26
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris went head to head for the first time last night
0:30
in what will likely be their only US presidential debate. The Republican and Democratic presidential nominees clashed over topics
0:36
including immigration to the US, abortion rights, health care and crime. As an advocate of the border wall, Trump should have been able to come across strong
0:45
when asked about the topic by moderators, but pivoted to defending his own rallies from Harris's suggestion
0:50
people were leaving the events early due to boredom and exhaustion. The former president then repeated debunked claims that Haitian migrants in Ohio were eating the pets
0:59
of the people that live there. I just want to clarify here. You bring up Springfield, Ohio, and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there
1:07
He told us there had been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed
1:11
injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community. On abortion, Harris claimed if re-elected, Trump would sign a national abortion ban
1:20
Something he has denied he would do, saying individual states would be able to make their own
1:23
decisions on abortion limits. The government and Donald Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what
1:29
to do with her body. I have talked with women around our country. You want to talk about this
1:36
is what people wanted Pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage being denied care in an emergency room because the health care providers are afraid they might go to jail and she bleeding out in a car in the parking lot
1:52
She didn't want that? Her husband didn't want that? A 12 or 13-year-old survivor of incest
1:59
Being forced to carry a pregnancy to term? They don't want that
2:04
Trump also falsely accused Democrats of supporting executing babies after birth, which saw ABC news anchor Lindsay
2:10
Davis remind viewers there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's
2:15
born. Straight after the debate, pop superstar Taylor Swift took to Instagram to voice her
2:20
endorsement of Kamala Harris. She said she would be casting her vote in November for the Democrat
2:25
candidate. While celebrity endorsements may be common, Swift's is seismic. After her record-breaking
2:30
global era's tour, made her perhaps the most famous woman in the world. Bloomberg economics
2:34
reckoned Swift contributed some 4.3 billion in GDP to the economy just in the US
2:40
alone, while so-called Taylornomics was compared to the financial impact of the Olympics
2:45
the Super Bowl, and the FIFA World Cup. She signed off the post as Childless Cat Lady
2:50
a dig at remarks made in 2021 by J.D. Vance, Trump's candidate for vice president. The Ohio
2:56
Senator faced backlash for his comments in a clip, which he recently said were sarcastic
3:00
where he called several prominent Democrats, including Harris, a bunch of childless cat ladies
3:04
who are miserable at their own lives. We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats
3:09
via our corporate oligarchs by a bunch of childless cat ladies. Here at Citi-A.M., we'd like to know
3:15
