Presidential Debate hosted by ABC News, Philadelphia PA: on Government Reform


Donald Trump: They're trying to get illegal immigrants to vote

TRUMP: The election, people should never be thinking about an election as fraudulent. We need two things. We need walls. We have to have borders. And we have to have good elections. Our elections are bad. And a lot of these illegal immigrants coming in, they're trying to get them to vote. They can't even speak English. They don't even know what country they're in practically. And these people are trying to get them to vote. And that's why they're allowing them to come into our country.

HARRIS: Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. And clearly, he is having a very difficult time processing that. We cannot afford to have a president who attempts, as he did in the past, to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election. And when you deny court cases you have lost, because you did in fact lose that election, it leads one to believe that perhaps we do not have in the candidate to my right the temperament or the ability to not be confused about fact.

Kamala Harris: Trump can't process that he was fired by 81M people

TRUMP: I got almost 75 million votes. People should never be thinking about an election as fraudulent. We need two things. We have to have borders. And we have to have good elections. Our elections are bad. A lot of these illegal immigrants coming in, they're trying to get them to vote. That's why they're allowing them to come into our country.

HARRIS: Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. So, let's be clear about that. And clearly, he is having a very difficult time processing that. But we cannot afford to have a president who attempts as he did in the past to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election. And when you then talk in this way in a presidential debate and deny what over and over again are court cases you have lost, because you did in fact lose that election, it leads one to believe that perhaps we do not have in the candidate [Trump] the temperament or the ability to not be confused about fact. That's deeply troubling. And the American people deserve better.
