    GLOBAL FOCUS - Democrat vs Republican debate on Radio 3

    Presenters:Jenny Lam and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday's Global Focus, we talked about US politics, ahead of the Presidential elections in November.
    Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump took to the stage for their first ever TV debate on Tuesday, two months after President Joe Biden dropped out of the White House race to endorse Vice-President Harris.
    Despite a collected beginning, the debate quickly turned into a war of words as the two rivals laid out their deep divisions in matters ranging from gun control, abortion rights, healthcare, immigration and tax. Both candidates claimed the mantle of change, hoping to gain the hearts and minds of American voters who will be called to the ballot boxes in less than two months.
    We were joined by James Lockett, Chair of Democrats Abroad (Hong Kong) and Alan Seigrist, Head of Republicans Overseas (Hong Kong) who debated live from our studio here in Hong Kong.
