Harris dives into her policy agenda in her first answer: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/live-blog/trump-harris-presidential-debate-live-updates-rcna169722#rcrd54651

Harris dives into her policy agenda in her first answer

Natasha Korecki

In her first answer, Harris delved right into her agenda: housing and small-business support. This is exactly what strategists have said she needs to do: come out right away and define herself and her agenda before Trump can knock her off track.

Tonight is Trump and Harris' first meeting

Monica Alba

Trump and Harris have never met in person or spoken to each other, so it will be interesting to see what their personal interactions look onstage tonight. Will there be any chatter during commercial breaks?

Harris attended some of Trump’s State of the Union addresses when she was a senator, but otherwise, they’ve never been in the same vicinity. In 2016, Hillary Clinton shook hands with Trump in the first and second debates but then skipped it for the third one.

The Covid-19 pandemic meant Biden and Trump didn’t shake hands for either debate in 2020, as stipulated by the commission rules back then.

Harris and Trump shake hands as they enter debate stage

Alexandra Marquez and Natasha Korecki
The two candidates shook hands as they walked onto the stage, with Harris moving to Trump's side of the stage to initiate.

That was quite the power move by Harris, going right up to Trump and extending her hand. He seemed a bit reluctant or surprised for a moment.
