Former President Donald Trump remained undeterred by an early assault from Vice President Kamala Harris during the debate, implying that her remarks were pre-prepared and merely a “sound bite” provided by her advisors.
“I’d invite you to know that Donald Trump actually has no plan for you because he is more interested in defending himself than he is in looking out for you,” Harris said after attacking Trump on the economy.
“That’s just a sound bite, they gave her that to say,” Trump said.

“Look, I went to the Wharton School of Finance, and many of those professors, the top professors, think my plan is a brilliant plan,” Trump said. “It’s a great plan. It’s a plan that’s going to bring up our worth, our value as a country. It’s going to make people want to be able to go and work and create jobs and create a lot of good, solid money for our country.”
Trump subsequently criticized Harris’s minimalistic policy platform, which was made available on her campaign website on Sunday, 49 days following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race due to covert pressures from prominent Democrats, influential figures in Hollywood, and financial backers.
“And just to finish off, she doesn’t have a plan; she copied Biden’s plan, and it’s like four sentences like, ‘Run spot, run,’” Trump quipped. “Four sentences that are just, oh, we’ll try and lower taxes. She doesn’t have a plan, take a look at her plan. She doesn’t have a plan.”
