Here is a partial list of Harris’ untruths:

Project 2025 (Trump has said for months that it’s not part of his plan).

Fracking (She denies it now, but in the 2019 Democrat primary debate she said would end fracking. - CNN).

Late-term abortion (She denies it now but she has maintained that the timing of carrying out an abortion should be left up to a woman. - Snopes)

Tim Walz’s late-term abortion (She denies it but “Under Gov. Tim Walz, babies born alive in botched abortions were left to die. Then he removed reporting requirements” - The Daily Signal)

"Very fine people" Charlottesville (No, Trump did not call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists 'Very Fine People.' - Snopes)

"Bloodbath" comment (Trump was predicting an "economic bloodbath" for the country, not a literal one, if he loses the 2024 presidential election. - Snopes)

Economy (She didn’t answer the first question, “Are people better off today than they were under the prior administration.”)

Border security (Around 75% of violent crime arrests in midtown Manhattan are suspected illegal immigrants: Report - The Daily Wire)

January 6 (Harris accuses Trump of inciting an insurrection, but Trump told his supporters to go peacefully and patriotically protest at the Capitol.)

Seemed to me that Mr. Trump had a strong start. But Ms. Harris was ignoring the actual questions and proceeding to her canned 'talking points'. This seemed to really pull Trump off target and it became a mud wrestling match. ABC really wanted to nail Trump to a cross on his January 6th response (which is understandable) and they did a pretty good job of it.
