Sani wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“Kamala is the best presidential material who can protect and preserve America’s democracy and the country’s obligations and responsibilities to the international community. But Trump has a clear and practical solution to ending the Russian/Ukraine war and other wars around the world.”
Legit.ng reports that Harris was widely seen as dominating the presidential debate on Tuesday, September 10, against former president Trump.
The combative presidential debate in which Harris put Trump on the defensive offered a rare opportunity for both candidates to make their case on various topics just eight weeks before the elections.
Harris approached Trump at his lectern, introducing herself by name in what was the first handshake at a presidential debate since 2016. Trump has spent weeks launching personal attacks on Harris.
Harris and Trump are in a tight race as electorate exercise their franchise on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
