Kamala's Reactions
The faces that Vice President Harris was making as Trump spoke — dropping an outlandish claim that was immediately fact checked by the moderators on more than one occasion — immediately went viral.

During a conversation about reproductive health, Trump tried to defend his stance on IVF, saying, "I have been a leader on IVF, which is fertilization. When they got a very negative decision on IVF from the Alabama courts, I saw the people of Alabama and the legislature two days later voted it in. I’ve been a leader on it. They know that and everybody else knows it."
